Aw C'mon Red! Thank you! I'll figure out the pictures later.
Trying to get psyched up to tear this boat apart!

Looks good to me.
Donate that pinger to the museum and let's hit the lake.

Right on, that's a great line from Lyle Lovett's song "If I had a Boat".

Congrats on the new boat and don't worry about the decking, just go fishing and hold off restoring the deck until the weather cools off. Looks like you already found the excellent iboats forum for help restoring the deck, I saw your post there. Good luck and enjoy the process of restoring it.

Just in case you don't know. That big black box that sais Lowrance, is a flasher. IT TELLS YOU HOW DEEP THE WATER IS. I know there are young bucks on here looking at that thinking "what the heck?" Its from back in the day. When men were men and didn't need no stinking SI.

Mac, I was thinking about keeping the pinger for that "'ol skool" look!

Jeff, iboats is awesome. In the Skeeter section is where I saw a guy pop the cap off and re-deck. I'm committed now, or should be, so I'm gonna get ready to scalp her soon! Besides, the guy I bought from is going to have to file for a lost title, so I have a little time to 'work.'

When I get closer to lake ready, I'll be looking for help on how to get the motor ready.

Yep! I still got one out in the shed. Still works too.

Update- Rub rail off and all rivets drilled. All cables and wires un-hooked from the motor. Cherry picker in place to remove motor. Just don't like the way I have the straps set up. Looks like the motor will tilt pretty good when the bolts let go. Should I get a lifting eye?

I have removed engines with and without a lifting eye. If you dont use one just make sure you have it strapped and balanced to the best of your ability.

Got the throttle and gear cables out. I only thought I had the steering cable ready to come out, but it has other plans.

Motor is off, free and clear! The slide tubes in the pivot tube were corroded/rusted. A combination of heat, pounding, and lube finally did it! Now to build a motor stand!

Deck cap is completely loose. My son and I worked all afternoon on the filler putty between the transom and splash well. Gotta give a big shout out to my son for figuring out a better way to do it. I/we spent several hours trying to saw the rock hard Bondo type glue. After a water break, he suggested we take a chisel and see if we could pop it loose that way. I didn't think it would work, because I already tried with a flat pry bar. Well, the chisel worked in about 30 minutes. He is a pretty good hand. I hope he will want to enjoy the fruits of his labor, and take up fishing with me.

If he does, it'll make every minute you spend together working on it even more rewarding thumb

I hope so Big Brown! I'll have my son figure out how to use the photobucket to resize and post the pictures. I'm almost down to bare hull. I think I may get lucky, the transom seems SOLID!

congrats on the new ride and gig em


Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach
