Default My "Free Boat" project

Recently I got a free boat. Here's a quick story. I saw an add in the paper for a trailer for $200.00 and Free boat. Went to check out the trailer ( Was going to use it for a john boat), but thought about possibly re-doing the boat, but not sure if it's even worth it. So far I've removed the deck, and all the trees (hahha). *I've been trying to figure out what model it is. The title says 1971 wellcraft, 17 ft. that it. Was looking for some help.

Fireguy...congrats on the boat...it does have a wellcraft look to it, but I just haven't seen it...


Looks like OSB board there...if you're just using for walk-board, great, but recommend you don't install as floor in a boat...

Good luck w/ the project and keep us posted on how it goes... :D ...likin' those pics... ;) ..

If the Stringers and transom are fine. Go for it. A perfect boat to learn your skills on if you never did boat repairs before. ;D ;D

Reel,
Yea, the wood in there only for walking. Sitll haven't figured out what kind of wood I'm gonna use. A friend of mine was saying 1/2" and put fiberglass over the edges, then seal it. If yall have any inputs let me know. I'm thinking on placing the drivers chair and one other next to it, and putting 2 more seats in the rear of the boat. I'll primarily be using it for fishing. But first I have to float test it to make sure it even floats. I just need new leaf springs and tires. I'll keep yall posted.
