    1972 Ranger Bass Boat

    I bought this beauty about 6 months ago for $500. (Boat/motor/trailer). It had been sitting underneath a tree for the last 10 years. I took a huge gamble but the old girl turned out to be a solid boat and cleaned up pretty good. It’s still a work in progress but I’ve included a few pics of...
