Welcome to the site!!

You are well on your way to V20 land!! It is highly likely you have a 60 gallon fuel tank unless someone has switched it out.

Congrats on your new addition(s) ....one in the oven and a V20 - best of both worlds!!

Default Thanks for all the input

I appreciate the input and the welcome aboard's. I'm slowly getting this thing ready. It currently has no seats which is a good thing for me cause its like a clean slate. I found some used seats and posted another thread in regards to seat size that I will need. Check it out and give me your input if you get a chance.

Default got PICS!

Alright guys I finally got these pics off my cam and on my computer.
Since these pics I've cleaned her up a bunch and put a cover on. Its raining here for atleast and hour a day and when its not raining its a sauna outside so progress is slow.
I have inspected the transom and determined I have to replace it. I'm not too upset about it because after all the boat was free. Atleast I'll know the transom is in tip-top shape. I plan on using NidaBond and using the method outlined in a thread by MauryC.
I've removed the rod boxes for patching and painting and the wooden rod holders have been sanded and refinished. I had a line on a pair of helm chairs but now all my money is going into the transom. Let me know what yall think and any advice on the transom job is appreciated. I have two major concerns about it right now.
- should I be worried about the stringers being rotten also? I have reached up under the floor and banged on them and they "feel" strong.
- If I encounter any good wood in the transom how my more difficult will that make it to peel the wood away from the fiberglass?
Yall have a great weekend.

GREAT!!
Also consider while you're spending money weather to go bracket, jackplate, etc.
You can sink a pile into it and/or spend a little along.
As I was greeted a little over a year and a half ago by Pipe Dream,
Welcome to the madness!!
