I just couldnt pass this up!!! I picked up this 15' Olympian for $60... Some fiberglass work and I will be fishing in no time. The Transom has some rot, but nothing I cant handle...
My wife almost had a heart attack.
I could use a few opinions though. The benches seem to be hollow with foam, Im thinking about cutting them out, reenforcing and pouring in new foam. Tab them back in and call her done. Im even considering pouring some git rot down inside the exposed transom and calling it good. I most likely wont have anything more than a 6 hp on her, maybe even just a 40lb trolling motor. This puppy is light I can flip her over by my self with no problems.
Anyway, how often do you come across a $60 boat that needs maybe $100 worth of work??
