Easiest project boat I've taken on. Hull was in very good condition, I bought it with a blown 115 Yamaha for $500. Sold the salvage engine for $400, not too deep into this project. (so far:rolleyes:)
Hull was sanded on the inside and painted, looks great.(photos to follow) The old Yamaha controls were the side shift type, awkward to use at best the way it was bolted to the console. I wanted to use a binnacle shifter, had a nearly new two lever on hand. I fabricated a box to allow the shifter to be easier to work. Made it out of PVC board.

Found a couple of "before" photos on my phone. This model came from the factory without a hull drain. I drilled a hole and drained about 15 gallons of water. Used a piece of stiff cable hooked to a drill to "drill" out the foam right at the keel, allowing water to drain out more easily.
