TOPIC: new boat today

found this at the local pawn shop...(local hangout) it is a one owner. The man that owned it had to move to assisted living so he asked the man at the pawn shop if he could sell it for him..he has lots o jon boats so it was the obvious place to put it...I love it...it will need lots of work to be restored back to its original self...the man had used it as a fishing boat as you can see so I will spend some time removing stuff out of it...the motor if the serial # web site i went to is right is a 1957..so I am assuming the boat is also...I don't really know...I am picking up registration papers on it in a day or 2 so hopefully that will tell me more

That's definitely a 57 evinrude fastwin , same motor I got. neat boat.

Wow Roy.. That's a great little boat! You lucky dog... I've been hoping to find something like that for my dad to use around here.
BTW, I called about the windshield yesterday but missed you so left a short message. Call me if ya want.

I got some work done today even though it was our hottest day of the year. I think it got up to 106...The first thing I did was to remove that seat where he had desecrated the bow of the boat. Then I took out the astro-turf covered plywood floor and matching back seat...I need pictures to show me how to redo the seats but I guess I will just my best...here are today pictures...have to work tomorrow
