Heck, I should offer him $1k if the hull is in good shape and the sell the motor if it runs and maybe work out to a free boat. :up:

I sent them an email asking for pics. See what turns up. :D

These are the pics he sent me. I am going to ask more questions. If the motor runs and its not to horible I might shoot him a number and if he like it I might go pick this thing up. :)

It's about 1 hour from me. A bit closer to my work. I did see this boat for sale in the fall last year. Heck, the seats and spare parts might be worth the asking price. I don't think you could get hurt on it with the motor if it runs good and you need another project anyway. :lol:

The Boat needed EVERTHING!!! New transom, floor, stringer, core. This was not a project for the faint of heart. There was so much alum added to the boat that it took me a week to get it all off. Not to meant all the holes that he drilled into the hull trying to attaching it. The core was a wreck. I scooped the wood out with a spoon at one point. It took all summer and a lot of beer to get it back in the water. Now it is quite a head turner. I would not wish that project on anyone.

I would love to, but this website won't let me post my pic because they are big. I can email them to you if you would like.

You can resize them so they are not so big. (Currently 4mb file size) Also, reducing the resolution on your camera will make the file size smaller. Or you could use a site like photobucket. They will automatically resize them for you when you upload them. I love photobucket. :up:

PhotoBucket - www.photobucket.com

Online image resizer - www.shrinkpictures.com/

Awesome Image resizer program (super easy) - imageresizer.codeplex.com/

Of course you can email them to me too if you like and I can post them for you. :up:

Reason for a file size limit is so the site doesnt take so long to load due to huge image file sizes.
