I JUST PULLED IT HOME FROM VANCLEAVE MISSISSIPPI , I LIVE IN PENSACOLA FL. MY DAD GAVE THIS BOAT TO ME ABOUT 10-12 YEARS AGO. NOW THAT I HAVE KIDS NOW , I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THE KIDS HELP ME FIX IT UP AND TAKE IT TO THE RIVER.

TIME FOR CLEAN UP
|
IT MADE THE 115 MILE TRIP .BEFORE THE TRIP HOME I HAD TO REBUILD THE WHEEL HUDS AND PURCHASE NEW TIRES AND RIMS. I DIDN'T THINK THE TRAILER WOULD MAKE IT . IT WAS BENDING AT THE TILT JOINT BOLT.

|
THE MOTOR NEEDS A SOME TLC, IT WAS RUNNING GREAT 13-14 YEARS AGO. I NEED TO REBUILD THE STARTER, CARB, FUEL PUMP AND REPLACE THE WATER PUMP. OTHER THEN THAT IT STILL HAS GREAT COMPRESSION.
