Dude, you're like the OSO whisperrt lol!! That is the boat I was talking about. I'm almost positive so many people said it would be unsafe and couldn't be done that he gave up. I'd like to find the thread and have looked a few times. No dice.

This might be one of the first YouTube videos going into it, that I was thinking that I would want the next 7:46 of my life back. Pleasantly surprised, great vid.

I found a rusted navigation light base on the beach the other day. Should I build a boat back around it?

Did anyone else wonder how it performs with teh engine bracket riding low? Seems like the bottom will drag or perhaps keep teh stern too high at speed.

Hey , it was a FREE boat . Just imagine how much he saved instead of buying a new one !

And I think that a rusty bow light found on the beach is a great starting point for a rebuild. Hell , I once did it with only a transom drain tube !

Uh oh , it's 10am . Time for my meds again .
