I have a vision for the boat, but that's for a long term project. It's a 14 aluminum, flat bottom Jon boat, unknown make, year or model. Right now I want to strip and paint it and get it on the water. The deck and storage compartments can wait. The previous owner said they had a 25hp motor on it....many years ago. I need to replace the transom. I take it the white potty that surrounds the transom and all the rivets are there to prevent leaks. I take it I can strip it first, remove the old putty and put new putty/sealant, then sand it and paint it.

Can anyone tell by the pictures a possible make and model?

Any help / opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Steve

Did you get a tittle or bill of sale or any other paperwork with it???

I'd make sure it can be registered and legally operated before I went too far with it,....

Other than that it's a nice freebie with a bunch of potential,....

She just ordered a copy of the title for both the boat and trailer. I should have it within the next week or two. Her husband passed away several years ago and she had no desire to fix it up. It's been out in the weather for about 3 years covered with a tarp and was left upside down on the trailer in the back yard.
