Bought a boat

[chuckymcd]

Hey everyone,

 

I dont know too much about boats but just picked up a 14-foot traveler with a 40 HP johnson on the back.

It needs a little bit of work but i figure its a good winter project.

 

Anyone ever heard of this boat before ive tried to look it up and cant find too much info on it.

 

A buddy and me went halves on it $800.00 for boat motor and Trailer

I think its a good deal tho.

 

sorry i dont have any pics yet as we just picked it up yesterday!

 

I will keep everyone updated on the transformation

 

Thanks in advance

I remember them from long ago, probably the 60's, they were "Arkansas Travelers" back then if it is the same manufacturer that I am thinking of, fairly popular at the time.

Here's a little Traveler boat history for you:

Your boat was probably made at the Peterborough Ontario plant.
