Progress of the “Y hurry”

[thejeepster02]

I’m sending this mostly to warn people to check over a used boat real close before you buy.<br />As in my case, even if it’s a relative, THEY may not know how bad of shape it’s really in.<br />This link below will show the boat I bought for $1200.00. (I did get a good running 50hp evinrude with it.)<br />My first thoughts were a good cleaning and a little paint and this would be a great fishin boat for me and the wife (and it will be). I quickly found out that all the wood was rotted be on just a simple repair.<br />As you can see, im just finishing up the transom after removing most of the boat from the hull.<br />I have to say, even though I got a surprise, I really am enjoying this project. its been a learning experience and this sight has helped allot so far.<br /><br />Also, if anyone could help Identify this baby it would be greatly appreciated.<br />My father in-law had it titled as a home made years ago but I don’t think it is.<br /><br /> http://www.clubphoto.com/reward.php?id=2556865&mid=members1_scott893520&pwd

Nice progress!<br /><br />Can't offer a suggestion on make/model, but maybe if you posted a good picture over at FiberGlassics someone might recognize-it.

Looks a lot like my former boat. Mine was a Bucaneer, an 18' deck boat. It was rated for a 115hp motor and held 8 people. It was a great family boat and very versatile. Mine needed a new floor, so I sold it cheap and got a newer one. What is the hull # (on rear right of boat) that may give a clue as to the manufacturer. The Bucaneer was a heavy, tri-hull deck boat, it was great. What is the length of yours?

Is that a beehive hanging in your garage?

Re: Progress of the “Y hurry”

I saw some where on this board some one posted a link to the USCG where you put in your serial # and it gives you the manufacturer of the boat ... just cant remember where I saw it ...<br />Jon

Here is a link to look up manufacturers by the Manufacturers Identification Code. <br />It looks like your boat was made by Anchor Industries.

Interesting boat. You can configure it about any way you want now, you don't have to go with the way it was. Maybe go with a side console and format it like a modern deck boat, or go center console and make it a fishin' rig. At least when you are done you won't have to wonder what condition it is in. Good luck...

I appreciate the info and thoughts . <br />BH357,I had no idea there was so much info on the coast guard site.<br />JasonJ..Thanks it makes me think. I already have it torn apart, why not make it my boat instead of ANP’s
