I get to work on my boat. I took a straight edge to the bottom ad it is dead straight I' hoping it is still good after i ger the paint off but as for now everything looks good. progress...Got it turned over to paint the bottom yesterday, the top is almost ready to go,tanks and seat glass stipped and sanded to do the floors, and im having a lot of fun with my old man helping me get er done.
heres some pics after the flip.
I also found a couple old orr's and a old portable crapper seat, (hidden gems) behind the bulkhead.

Very Cool... looks like a good first v-drive project.

Thanks, it seems like the road to the end of the project is a long ways away. But it sure is fun.
