    Default LET RESTORE BEGIN


    Well I put momma on the bus this morning so she could go get her big truck in St. Louis this morning. Dr. finally released her to go back to work, she drives a truck reginal, so I can get back to working on the 14' v-bottom aluminum boat again. Need to put the transom in, and replace the wood part of the seats. Motor goes to shop tomorrow for a going over and refresh after a 20 year hiatus in a barn before I got it. once boat is done and Get the motor back, I'll be stripping the trailer down to bare metal and painting it, rebuilding/ greasing the bearing, and putting new tires on it. IF everything works out, I'll be ready for the water before Ice up this year...Ice out in the spring for sure...lots to do...will try to post progress on here as I go. wont be a fast bill as lifes expenses will dictate. Work starts tomorrow...

    That ol' tinny will look sweet going down the river with that old motor on just hummin' along...
    'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
    The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.
    And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me... Matthew 11:4-6

    That's going to be an awesome classic "crappie machine" when you're through. If things last long enough they all become classics, some of us like myself already are. lol Beat of luck on the rebuild.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    That's gonna make a nice fishing boat, love the motor, looks like one of the old 18hp Evinrude's, those were some nice motors and the cowl for it is in great shape.
