I finally got my boat in the garage this past Sunday. I did some cleaning. I'll add some photo's and a link to my photo album. I plan on uploading every picture I take and I plan on taking a lot, but all work is being done by myself, yes even split and flip deck. Please share your thoughts along...
Here's a few pictures of my Lone Star that I redone this year. Still working on the slat type bench seats. Had alot of fun on her this summer. She gets alot of looks on land and water.
Just wanted to share a few pictures of my winter project. I'm getting excited but I won't get it in the garage for another couple of weeks. Let me know what you think.

If you look close you can see me making motor noise"
I found this motor on Craigslist for $100 Suppose to run, lower unit leaks a little and needs resealed.

I just picked this up and was wondering if anyone have seen one like it before or could tell me more about the 80 hp West Bend inboard. It's in great shape just needed a little paint and should be on the water soon.
First I would like to interduce myself, my name is Chris and I'm from Medina, Ohio. O.K. I picked this boat up on the forth and have been working non stop to get it ready for the water. So far I clear coated it, replaced the wood on the hatchs and recarpeted it, replaced the seats and some...
