Picked up a new to me Super Sport last night. Got the boat for a song and a dance so I figured why not. Its stripped down to bare hull, the guy threw in a side console and an old 115 Evinrude with it. Its going to need a transom for sure. I think my plan is going to be tackle the transom, this will be my first time doing a transom, then work on wiring, and layout. Wanting to do a rear side console, eventually converting to a 4-stroke 90-115hp. The boat is going to be used for walleye and perch during the summers and near shore duck hunting on the great lakes and larger inland lakes in Michigan.

Looks good enough to me. Some closed cell foam between the floor beams. Sheets of Exterior plywood. Will the finished boat be stored indoors? Or left outside to rot ?
Were are all the seats with the floatation foam under them ?

The boat will be indoors during the offseason and outside, covered, during season.

I dont know about the seats as I got it already stripped.

You MUST MUST get an install those seats !! They have ALL the foam flotation molded under them. Those seats ALSO keep the hull sides from FOLDING into the boat. GET THEM !!!
