Grumman 5.0 re-born

[MetricMachine]

I have been looking for a boat similar to this for a long time. Happened upon this one that has sat for 13+ years and needs lots of TLC including a new floor. Owner is missing tittle, but new one is already on the way. Our willingness to work out tittle issues is going to save this old girl. Engine is a 55hp Tohatsu from same age 85-88. I doubt it has 100 hours run time on it. Finding any parts may be an issue when needed. First order of business is to wash the whole boat down and get the rotted plywood floor out. I dont think I want to put plywood back in. Im thinking aluminum sheet with seadeck type covering. I would love to hear what any of you have done with yours. Seems like a great boat. ill post progress photos as I go along.

I’ve owned one for years and did a full refurbishment when I got it. These are great little boats.
