GBW Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) So I just got a few pic's sent to me, sans motor, of my 'new to me' boat. My dad got this boat, trailer and motor (missing in pic as it's locked away) off a friend of his looking to upgrade. This is for me to build a casting deck on the front and put a trolling motor up there as well as my new fishing boat. I'm sure some of you have seen some of these but thise one still floats and doesn't leak!! I cannot wait to get it out on the water!!!! I may need new rubber for the wheels so anyone got a connection? CHEERS! Geoff Edited April 30, 2011 by GBW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFSC Kevin Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Grats. It is always fun to play with something new. but isn't this boat around the same as the one you sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeeter Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 What the heck is a "sans motor" and "botat"??? When your building the casting deck, you might want to add a floor in it as well. It keeps your feet dry and makes standing and getting in/out a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckrb2007 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Nice little runner!! As for the tires, like another member said....try "the Princess" for new tires. I'm actually heading there right now to get a spare for my ATV trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikehunter Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 That is in nice condition! A good sound purchase from the look of your pictures. Remember adding a deck or floor is going to add weight and you are going to lower the carrying capcity. Princess Auto does have decent tire prices, but only if there is a store close to you.

MCTFisher9120 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Not sure if putting a deck in is in your plans but make this into a mod thread, always like seeing projects coming together. MTBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
