Yep me too.
I'm working on an upgrade to the PlasticFantastic boat (14' Sears Gamefisher).
I picked up a 1990 Tracker 17" deep V. It has spent most of it's life in the ocean.
The trailer looks like crap, the fuel pump was leaking, the transome had about 8 holes in it.
The oil in the lower end looks like it might have a little water in it too. Ther are a few other spots on the hull where the paint is boubling a little. The cover is also shot. Other than that it, looks great! After I pointed out it's issues to the owner, I walked away. The problem is he reduced the price from $2500 to $1500 so I had to come back
I have spent about 5 hours to date mainly grinding the rust off the trailer. I found the bearings on the starbard side were crap on Monday. Good luck with your new project.
I'm shooting for about 3 weeks, & $300 to water with this one. My Game fisher may be for sale in about 6 weeks. My current fleet is 5 boats! Topless, Pastic-Fantastic, my yak, a 6' blow-boat, and my new project boat Lose Change. The little GameFisher has been a major Strpier killer
boyz.
