I was just looking at some of my picks and thinking about the whole project and how much work it was but it was fun too.

good pictures there. i like the way the knee supports are on your resto. they look a lot stronger than mine. i might modify mine to make them like yours.

All I have to say to you, Rellik, is... "dang"
You just may be a guy who loves being on.... or in.....a boat more than me!
Keep me posted on your progress. Thanks.

Okay, do us all and yourself a favor. Please keep all your restoration project in one thread. It will be easier for people to follow along and help with advice.

Sorry bob. This wasn't intended to be about my resto. I just thought it was cool seeing my boat without the cap. And just wanted to start a thread with people who have removed theres and have pictures. . Sorry for the mix up.

Be sure you brace the hull.....they get very flimsy with all the internals out....easy to loose thier original shape.

Pictures are so helpful.

Actually Rellik, its neither.
that would be pure strain, allegheny river, fall muskie. A 40.25 pounder at that!! 47" X 26" girth.
I had someone tell me that its so "brown" due to its diet and the depth of water it hung out in.
What a pig!!
