Well japdip has the same Mitchell I owned except mine was side console with long 6' glassed in fish box seat combo seat on port side, and under my side console seat was built in thru the hull live well. No doubt that is same boat and it was manufactured in Orlando originally.

540mile is a stretch considering I would we coming from Washington Ga and have to go around Atlanta. Out here in the country we do anything we can to dodge the big A.
Appreciate the get back and as you can see, if it was one of the older Orlando boats it can handle a 70hp with no trouble and japdip that is one real sweet rig you have there.

PS Had the same platform in bow and I fought many a Snook and Tarpon inshore and a number of Sailfish and dolphin offshore while standing up. Ah the good ole days when I was too enchanted with the whole experience to realize it was pretty foolish.

Well everyone, It looks like my project is canceled before I even get started. I have been laid off and now unemployed. Looks like I going to have to sell. Sure would have been nice redo her and go to tin stock. Maybe another time. It sure was a pleasure being apart of this forum while it lasted. Gook Luck to all of you, and your projects. David.
