In my back yard I have a small 12 or 13 foot glass boat I found and when I say found I mean found it had been dumped in a ditch I took pity on it and dragged it home that was a few years ago, as time went on the yard was developed and the lil boat is kinda stuck until I find a way to get it out of the yard Ill have to pull the fence down, anyway its a lil forward control glass boat, bare arsed, it has a very unusual transom, imagine this until I get a pic up, the motor is recessed into the transom, its a short shaft transom id reckon an older Merc 4 cyl like a 40hp would have been the go on it, it has n o windscreen frame, from the remaining timber work inside for the seats Id say it had two bench seats, floor was simply 3.5 mm ply glassed straight over the glass of the hull, Im not sure what to do with this boat an original restoration is out of the question I dont know the name of the hull, it would be Aussie made and a child of the 60s, it has no steering gear, no nothing so its a blank canvas, I thought she would make a nice lil boat for lake fishing, I even thought of just using it like a dinghy with a outboard with a tiller and forget the forward control biz, but Ill stick some pics up later and let you guys come up with some ideas
