Default stryker 31 patriot

Hey guys! New to the scene here with a recent purchase (July 2016) of the above listed 31' patriot with 0001 serial number!!! What an enormous labor intensive project!!! Have worked on every evening after getting home from work and almost every Saturday since I bout the boat! I bought boat from guy outside of Atlanta and had 2 flats -2 hub tailers and snapped a spindle off of an axle that had been very badly welded in place prior to my purchase!! Thinking they may lost wheel bearing and had to replace spindle!! Have been completely redoing this boat from the rotten transoms --2 bad locked up and water filled engines to soft floor in cockpit to the rotten intior floor along with 1 rotten bench seat 2 wall boards and main bed area and even the strips of wood that lines the gunnel rail where screws are holding the upper and lower halves together! Enen the boards on back upper deck of stern where the ski tow hook and grab handle are was rotten ! What have I gotten myself into???

For what it's worth, you have a very rare item, wishing you the best of luck.

You can post pictures by adding a link from one of the photo sharing sites.
