finaly finished my boat

Post by GREYWOLF »

:D I got this old 1974 16'.6" / 72" beam MIRROCRAFT for $100 from an older guy who bought it new,the boat is rated for up to a 80 hp. motor and he only used a 7.5 hp motor,and only used it on a small pond near his home, Well it had been sittin in a barn for the last 6 years and he needed the room. So I saw a good deal and grabed it. Below are a series of photos I took during the restoration job , I thought you guys would like to see it. This is my hobbie I do 3 to 4 boats a year, I am getting a 18' 85 staecraft next week , it also is in pretty good shape, This one is for sale if any one is interested $3500.00 I also re did the trailer GREYWOLF :D

Unbelievable :shock:

Fantastic job. One question: Did you try it on the water :lol:

:D I did ! it runs great, I was realy surprised how fast a 20 can move it, its very comfortable to fish out of, I will miss this one , but the next one I am doing is a lot deeper and wider and will be better for ocean fishing . I love striper fishing at night off the cape GREYWOLF

Great job, its a good thing that you showed pictures of the boat during the restoring process for now one would believe it's the same boat. :D

Holy Crap! What a makeover. If the boat I picked up for nothing (found it almost sunk) turns out anywhere near as nice as that I'll be happy.
