Still no name(Now named "Sunburn")

#1 Post by MPosey519 » Sat Feb 16, 2013 3:45 pm

I'm deleting my old rebuild post and putting it up in here, I didn't have much to begin with :) The previous owners had dubbed her "Pretty Shitty"...I could tell why, I ended up pretty much paying for a motor and getting free logs/frame. Just about everything else was scrap.

Only took a couple hours to get it stripped down to the rotten plywood by myself


Image
Image


The trailer didn't have consistant support on both sides, so it was pretty obvious it wasn't sitting level once I got the new marine plywood on. That was fixed REAL quick.


Image


The new carpet looked great, and so far the carpet wrapped around the edge still looks great after taking it out a few times. Still looking into a few corner caps in the meantime.

Image


My oldest helped me put up the trim strip


Image


I had to reuse the older frankenstein'd rear seats, ran out of money and time(Wife had a mandated day it had to be ready to go out on the lake


Image
Image


Just about got her in shape


Image


Back deck got extended two and a half feet above each log, starboard side fit the battery and new 18 gallon gas tank almost perfectly(will have pics of that once it's out of storage)

Image


And the oldest had a blast, last day of the year the water was warm enough for us to get in!

Can't wait to get her out of storage and get back to work.

Cleaning and polishing the logs, finishing up the wiring, working on putting together the Outdoor Bean Bag Chairs/lounges, adding the new ladder, speakers, prop, rebuilding the carbs...

You mean those front loungers?

Don't know what they come from, but they're not in the least bit sturdy. They aren't going back on, took up too much room for very little function. Would have needed new vinyl on them soon anyway.

I found them on eBay, but dealt with the guy outside of. He had other sizes and colors( red and black I believe.) I can see if I still have his contact info if you'd like. He sold Marine Plywood as well

I was thinking Money Pit....but it's still a sore subject with the wife, and will be until she gets to go out on it without any engine issues :)
