Hello all,
My name is Jason - 44yo - living in Central Mississippi. I'm new to the forum, but I have been on many and I know that the group as a whole usually likes an introduction first.
I just bought yet another project boat this weekend. It's a 19' center console bay boat. Brand? Have no clue. Just has a VIN stamped in the transom. I haven't registered it yet, so I really don't know. I have a call in to Texas, it's previous home, for more info. Got the boat and trailer for $300.
This weekend I am buying two 16' bass boats with trailers and motors. From the two sets I hope to get one nice bass boat out of it.
Anyway, on to the current project. Got it home yesterday and sighed "Why do I keep doing this?". Tonight I got the rub rail off, and stripped the deck and gunwales of all things screwed down. Not a bad night. Got more done than I thought. I have a few places to repair with some 'glass and epoxy. Might have it ready to paint by next weekend. I still have to build a console and seats.
By day I have a handyman business, been doing woodwork and other stuff nearly all my life. So I have all the tools that I could need for this type of work, if you can call rebuilding boats "work" - I call it "fun". Hey, some guys like hot rods, some guns, and some boats!
Here are some pics of the boat as I brought it home yesterday afternoon. If anyone knows the make, please chime in. I'm sure when I register it I will find out, but I would like to know ahead of time.
