Description:

The plan was just getting it back together, and functional for now. I wanted something to fish from, and if possible to be able to get out of the wind and sun. Most of my fishing is for striped bass, and in Oct/Nov. so if you're familiar with NE USA waters...the water is pretty cold by then, and waders don't offer much protection, and an open boat is almost as bad. One day somebody mentioned a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy trying to unload an old abused boat for $300...with a supposedly good engine..(the guy that knew the guy said he went out on it a few times last summer) so, here's where the $300 turns into some money...bought alot of stuff really cheap on E-bay.. a $150-200 cover for $55..a CB radio for $75, 14yrds of that "Sunbrella" material for $65(w/ shipping), a windshield that fits (yeah.. try finding an exact match for a '68...LMAO)...for $61+ $145 shipping.....still $200+ for any windshield is a bargain...and that's where this story begins.
3/22/08...started the engine for the first time. Ran a little rough till one hole cleared....then was smooth...no wierd noises....water spraying out...sounds good so far.
