So after selling the big boat in the fall to replace with a smaller boat, priorities changed quickly once a house was put on the table for myself.
So rather than go boat-less, i picked up a small skiff from family friends to play with over the winter and get me onto the water.
Here she is on day 1:

The intentions: To build an economical, quality fishing boat to last me 1-2 seasons until i can again upgrade. Also to rebuild/restore the boat and learn whats involved with that.
The Build Plan:
1. Clean out the boat
2. Remove motor
3. Replace interior of boat. needs a new floor, and i think a transom. *Looking for interior layout ideas!*
4. Do spray-in bedliner for the interior.
5. Flip boat over and re-furbish the outside of the hull. (including new paint)
6. Go over the trailer when the boats off it, as you can see its a little small so i dont know if i can move the winch stand up right almost to the ball and get away with it and extend the bunks or sell and replace with a larger one all together.
7. install toys/electronics/name/go fish!
