I bought this boat last winter 79 predictor because everybody loves mine when I take it out!! Checkmates are scarce in the south...especially after Katrina...Mine was missed by two Hugh Pine trees! So anyway I bought this one in Chicago!!! All kinds of problems and neglect!! And God was she UGLY!!!!

So now that the wiring is squared away....everything was ran in red wire and 5 feet too long... The paint came out acceptable for my first time :D!! I painted the motor 1979 Mercury 150 Blackmax!! All that is left is some trailer work and I hope to find a new owner for her!!!

Nice!!

I live in Mandeville and would love to get together and see your boats. Mine is at my Dad's in Baton Rouge where we hope to drop the motor back in this weekend.

Drop me a PM with contact info. Maybe we can help each other out a bit...or at least I could learn something...

That's a sweet lookin' boat (now).

Is it possible to come out ahead when you fix a boat to sell? I always figured it would be near impossible to just break even doing that, but ya' never know.
