Charger finished and it floats too

[Beeched]

When I got the Charger it was in a farmers field, was full of water from spring rains. The floor was soft and the foam under the floor was 60 to 80% saturated. Cut out the floor, tore out the foam, put in new floor and foam, recarpeted, put in new steering, throttle and shift cables.

With a lot of advice and help here on the forum I finished the main project and took it out today. Wow, from my aluminum 16 footer to this 16 footer. I am sold on this one. I dropped a 50 hp Merc on the back, although a little under powered it was fantastic. There is still some little work to be done, the major portion is good to go.

Thanks to all that helped here. Here are some pictures from when I picked it up till now. I meant to get more pics of the progress, but, alas I didn't. Anyway here they are.

Can't get additional pics uploaded. Any way the pics above were the before pics.

It was a sweet ride today. A little more power it will be sweeter.

Thanks all who have helped and directed me.

I wonder if it's the same charger that made my boat.
