Just bought a 16’ title doesn’t say what it is. It has a side console , a live well And a storage box. The floor was pulled out of it, as it rotted away, along with the transom and any other wood in the boat. The hull seems to be in great shape No sccratches or dents
Came with a 9.8 mercury electric not sure if it runs. Hope it pushes this big tin can around sufficiently.
#1 on the T2Do list is clean it up, #2 is to figure out how to start the engine, reinstall the helm and water test it.
I’m not sure how I want to build it out, I hate plywood and carpet so I’m not going to make a bassboat. I need a workboat then will think about fishing convenience. Actually wondering if a wood slat floor would be too much work. I don’t think it will hurt to deal with no floor until I decide what I really want.
Another big 2do is the transom is fairly rotted. Any good rebuild references for the transom?
Also looking for a thread on a trailer refurbish, I’d like to find a Good refurb reference to add guide poles. spare tire carrier, possible wheel and axle upgrade. i also would like light up the rear on the road with good tail and brake lights, and maybe some additional brake lighting and reverse lighting.
I’m looking forward to this boat, I’ve been wanting a work boat to go with my ski boat And another excuse to do some small water exploring.
