Looks like all that rig needs now is water time and some trailer paint.

Dad got that boat last fall ... he didn't tell me anything about it until he was bringing it home and had already paid for it he got a good deal he only paid like 500 I think . He didn't tell me on purpose so I didn't go buy it first..lol...
He got all the paperwork with it the guy he bought it from said he was the original owner that had purchased it brand new. It had been sitting in a barn for a lot of years and had one bad cylinder .. but just because the Rings broke off the piston .We put 1 piston and cleaned up that whole put it back together with a new impeller and clear the top half of the hull ....... that picture was from the first time putting it on the water... I think we're going to put all new interior and carpet ... probably a new bilge pump and a decent radio is all that it needs I tried to talk him into all kind of extras new paint go through the motor with all new parts but he said he'd rather ride it then work on it...lol... I definitely agree with him now that I seen it on the water... not the fanciest or the fastest but I think it'll be a lot of fun for him this summer ... growing up I always remember my dad having a boat and spending most of our summers on the lake it's been 5 years or so since he has had a boat... it's really nice to see him back on the water and enjoying it
