I will not tell you what I paid for it, but you can figure in the $5500 and up range.



I've dropped a BUNCH of money in it in parts in the past 24hrs. Lot's more to go too.



In the neighborhood of $750 in parts in the trailer alone. The only thing good about that trailer was the frame.

I started pulling this boat apart more.



I want to replace the existing floor/deck with .125 Dimond plate alum.



I removed the thinner alum tonight. It would "oil can" in some places.



Starting to replace the hardware on the trailer too.



New winch,toung jack, coupler, winch stand U bolts, safety chain's and Bow roller.

I also straightened the winch stand and welded up the crack in it. That will get some spray zinc coating when i receive it.







Here you can see more of the junk under this trailer.

I removed the flotation blocks and spent 4hrs hosing out 10yrs worth of leaves and dirt.



Then I ordered 2-400watt HPS lights.



51,000 Lumnes each.
