Hopefully, before summer is over I'll catch a fish on it. Thanks for the inspiration, just got to keep at it.

    I've watched several of your boat fix-ups, and enjoyed every one, though I am land-locked, elderly, and not a boat person. I just appreciate the way you work on your project boats and usually, or I should say always, come out with a great result, and make a bit of money for your trouble when you sell. One thing - those center-consoles are very popular in Florida, so much so that I am surprised that an old dirty boat goes for as much as it did - $5900 including taxes and auction fees? I would have guessed more like $2500, but I guess a 90 hp engine alone costs more than $5900.

    i would be very interested in the future if you could also list how many hours you put into a boat and how much money you spent on parts :) would be interesting to see in what time you increased the value of the boat by how much. :)

    Nicely done!! It looks fantastic for its age now that you've put the work in! You could for sure make money on it if you wanted to re-sell but it would be a hard one to let go. CHEERS!!

    I bought a beat up 96 Wellcraft that was mechanically sound this year too and I have had a blast restoring it! So much pride in ownership now.
