I have a old, real old 1965 Bass hustler, looks like the old skinny ranger boats. I believe the boat sits a little lower in the water than it should, due to water loging, can get hairy when other boats pass by and produce wake. I dont have the money to buy another boat right now, and most of my fishing is done in small lake close to home. The boat is in rough shape, leaks, has temporairy fiberglass patches, make shift transom, etc...<br />I know at least one stringer is broke about the middle of the boat, and I'm sure the rest are all rotten. This boat is real simple it is basically 4' wide by 14' long, stick steer 2 seats, and a plain floor from front to back (ie: no molded areas or anything)my question is how long and about how much money would it take for me to rip out the floor, fix stringers, fix transom, and probably need to put new foam in, then replace floor. I'm pretty good with body work, and painting so I'm not worried about working, just need a estimate since crappie are soon to spawn around my area, and want to be able to fish it in about a month or so. Any help I would greatly appreciate.<br /><br />Thanks
