Replaced all the wood parts and put in new hatches, fiberglassed all the holes, replaced the old '85 Jhonson 90 hp with '98 Merc 115. Repaint, the only thing I have to do to it now is put in the cooler seats, cleats, stearn light, T-top, and alll the fish killing electronics. It have been a long and expensive ride. Cant wait to put her in the water and slay fish. I regret throwing away the plexiglass opening on the center console. anyone have any idea how to replace that. I was thinking of bringing it to a glass place and have 'em do some stuff or by the part from Home Depot and making it myself.

Looks good! I would be tempted to rename her the 'ucky indy' for laughs.

Very nice work re8elmonk0341. Looks brand new!!!

You can do the plexi yourself but a glass shop probably wouldnt charge too much. You might even think about making that portion a tackle storage area. Configure how you want and go from there.

LOOKS REALLY GOOD!!!!

Nice clean boat. Looks like the trl has been around. May want to check them wheel bearing before putting to much road time on it

Put in the seats, tackle box on the center console, cleats, pole holders, stern light, bait cutting board, and some new nubers/lettering. I still need to get the plexi glass made for the CC and get the t-top and start getting some electronic. Shes really starting to look like a fish slayer now :lol: :lol:[/b]
