    It's quite the freak of nature, but when I get more settled and comfortable in life I'll take the time to truly restore it back the way it used to be after taking it apart again

    Through bolted, drilled the pilot holes and used a small detail brush to seal the insides before feeding the bolts through and sealing the outer rim base of the seats to stop water from leaking in. Any holes drilled for wires got sealed up as well

    I did, while some areas looked slightly more concerning than other, after nights of research and having the cap off for about 3 weeks, I inspected stringer and when I through the holes through for the motor bolts, I was able to check the status of the transom and it was all passable until I...

    And to add to it, the flooring in the boat was done in two parts so I could make sure the area closer to the bow has less of a chance to leak water through it. I have much more floatation foam in my two Poons on the sides and towards the back as theres barely any weight in the front. As I've...

    I put on the OSB for the front decking only, that's my only sheet of OSB, the rest is 3/4" plywood siding I slapped down into the outline of the flooring but it's sealed bottom and top entirely before being screwed in and resealed each screw in with more resin to create better water tight seals...

    Honestly I thought I needed one, and unless I've gotta go messing with the flywheel and stator, then I'm golden, but it's on the edge, she just needs that last piece to get back with it

    The motor is a 70hp Evinrude Hustler model 70443M, I've done a compression test and my grandfather said the numbers looked good and in range for normalcy, I just tested the resistance in the Ignition coils and have found coil 1 is bad in its 2nd Winding, so I have a new one coming in this week...

    So, I got all the batteries and such, but now I've run into the problem where it cranks, but doesn't spark so I'm not really sure where the problem lies exactly

    It's registered and insured, and I'm licensed so after this weekend I'll have the batteries to test the outboard then I'll get some fall fishing in before setting it in the hangar for the winter.

    Well, in this week I'll be starting the registration process, trailer titled the outboard test and by the end of the month I'll have its first official test on the water for a full 6-8 hrs if all goes well.

    No, I'm saying I've done the flooring in a bit more unorthodox method with setting the cap on the hull and stringers so it sits flush, then I cut a new piece of flooring, set it, took it back out, made adjustments and then set it in, screwed it in where I made my pilot holes, then screwed it in...

    The floor is connected to the cap, and the stringers so it's all one piece and the rivets are in on the outside, the only place it's not connected is by the console because it looks like it was previously cut out, plus I needed it open to run my wires
