Picked up this basket case yesterday. It actually has all the parts to it, but will probably shit can most of it. Any suggestions from the guys who have re-built these before will be appreciated.
It's an 18' bass buggy with a 75hp mariner, doubt it ever ran with that motor because of the hack job of mounting it and the angle would never work. I plan on building a center pod for it and mounting the motor off it, probably set it back 18" from where it is now. Looks like it's gonna be a long winter and I'll post pictures as I go. My list of things to do is
Add center pod
New wood on the deck and probably build new railing
All new seats
Add lifting strakes to the logs
Re-paint trailer and add another axle.
Underskin the bottom.
