ill get you guys some better pics tomorrow. gonna be a quick project. throw it together, take my kid fishing and see what we got, what we want and what we need to do to it. havent even given it a good look over but the po told me that transom and stringers were redone a few years ago. looking inside the motor bolt holes im pretty sure i see seacast. definitely not wood. wasnt expecting that

heres the bad thing, and its pretty bad. im trying to be happy to finally have the boat home. but, the po met me halfway and the trailer i traded him for the boat didnt make it all the way to his home. i put all brand new suspension components under that trailer for him and it seems that some bolts came loose! i feel really fricken awful and before i can even think about mounting my engine i gotta make this dude whole. i dont know how, im pretty broke just trying to raise my kid. but even though i dont know this guy, we have texted a good bit past couple weeks and he seems like a really good guy. plus he is retired coast guard. plus daddy taught me that a good deal is when both parties walk away happy.right is still right and i cant call myself a man if i leave it as is
