My new to me purchase

I've had some money burning a whole in my pocket for awhile and I've finally spent it. I'm doing a 3rd toon on my boat and in a way I'm doing it the hard way, since I'm a looks guy and I've put so much hard work into my rebuild I want it to look good. Since one log on my boat had a BIG dent in it and isn't really repairable I plan on replacing it but I don't want my port and starboard logs to be mis matched so I'm going to replace them both with the logs of the boat I just bought. I will then take the original log that dosent have the dent and build the custom transom on it. I know it's a ton of work and that ok since I have all the tools/equipment to tackle this job and I really enjoy this kind of project/challenge. On another note, my wife and dad suggested putting a few seats and stuff on it and selling it to make a grand or so! Here's the deal with the boat, she wanted $2,400 for boat trailer motor and console. Since my intentions where the tube swap I ended up buying it without a trailer and motor or console and I spent $1,000. It has new carpet on it and the floor is solid, I really want the 3rd toon but I haven't ruled out the rebuild and sell yet...here's some pics....thoughts appreciated?????

Ok here was the only problem with them and it's on both them but I'm pretty sure it's fixable

I'm having a blast on my rebuild. I found a bent cross member that's at the machine shop, but other than that its going swimmingly. I like your idea and I wouldn't throw the ole sun tracker away. I mean, a spare boat! How cool is that?!?

I'd outfit it with a roll-up Shek tent, an ice maker, generator, blender and a jacuzzi and tow it to the beach. :biggrin2
