You sure caught my attention with that boat you found, very nice style with that brand boat IMO. Can't wait to see more pictures of what you have to work with and what you plan to do with her. Subscribed!

Kax, Yep I'm following your thread too. I LOVE the lines of the boat! How old was that trailer? I'm not sure mine can be saved. Keep the pictures coming, looks great so far.

Hey Kax,
All I can say is WOW! I hereby nominate you for an iboats award for the work you did on the motor. It is awesome, and inspiring. And as others have said, I can't wait until you get into the boat reno, please post a lot of pix. Also, please allow me permission to come aboard and follow your progress. We are about at the same stage in our respective renovation projects, and it is fun to see similar work in progress.
