1982 Naden N-14HS i found over the weekend

[Myyke]

I happened to find this '82 Naden in fairly decent shape over the weekend. Just filled it with water to check for leaks & found only a couple of loose rivets. I need to do a little work to the stern as previous owner ( before the latest owner) had a 30hp motor on it. It's on a shoddy trailer, but with a little extension to the main tube of the trailer & replace rollers with bunks it won't be too bad.

it's closer to being water ready than my Lund project.

So far so good, JP(previous owner & neighbor) stopped by & helped to tighten the rivets. Re-checked with water in boat and not leaking anymore. Mounted new seats ( as JP wanted his old ones), built a set of wheels for when boat is upside down & a handle for moving boat around.(part of next trailer for quad & boat)

Was thinking of repainting boat red as it was, but will probably go blue now as to match new seats.lol

Next weekend JP is bringing me a 9.9 & a 25 (both need work), but for now electric will have to do after i shorten it up.

Now to get back to painting parts all up.

FYI ALL Bare aluminium needs to be sanded cleaned and primed with self etching primer and then a good metal primer prior to applying the finish coat.
