OT - Elbow Grease

[BYRD]

Well I have been looking for hulls or older boats that I could put a little work in to and make something nice. I found a hull about a month ago and after haggling with the guy alot I finally got a decent price. I went to look at the hull in person today and, well the trailer sort of jumped onto my truck and followed me home. 24' deep V very high sided. All she needs is a bracket and a motor and she is pretty much ready to go. Here are some pics.

If any of ya'll feel like sanding or fiberglassing give me a call I'm sure I can find some work for ya.

I think she is going to need a bit more than a motor and bracket..... Definitely a project boat. Good luck buddy. Is this Dukefinger II?

[Joe Pajic]

Wellcraft? Aquasport? Stingray? Formula? Donzi? Chaparral? Robalo?

Inquiring minds want to know ??

Can't wait to see her when she's done! ;)

Don't forget to take a lot of pictures as you go, someday they will be fond memories :)

Good luck with your new project ;) ;)

Trailer looks good.[lol] Craig. I have some leftovers from prev attempts I will donate. Good luck!

YOu should have checked the tidal fish classifieds.......my Seacraft is the best buy in town for a project boat.... totally sound mechanically, you could have been fishing today. And when you were done you would have a boat worth bucks. Capt. Joe

And what was it?

Sea Bird. Lines similar to a sea craft.

Hot Mix . . . first post is an insult . . . funny. You must be a classy guy.


Fish Dad the wife won't let me call it Dukefinger II.

Finnfur Trailer is decent. NEeds a roller replaced here and there but that is it.

Soild Floor solid transom. Holes filled by Davis boat works. Console included. 120 gallon tank.

Really all it needs is a bracket and motor and a little paint and it will be ready to go. It is in WAY better shape than the pictures show.

Craig, Looks good, just think of all the rod holders you can get on her. Can't wait to see her in the water.

hey, freedom of design. at least you can set her up the way that you want her to be. you putting twins on her, and if so are you keeping the 120gal. fuel tank on board?
