The person that built this boat didn't finish. The whole upper deck had no support except where it met the bottom of the boat. I have about 4 hours in this wood. Lot of angles and dangles. 10* and 5* on the others, Drilled the upper hull, glued and screwed all these boards down from underneath. She has the strength now..........

Everything was cut 4" long, while I figured out the angle. There is no plans for doing this LOL.....


And I went to buy another boat today and found this on highway 9 heading to sedro woolley. I ride by this home always. Not sure what happened but what a surprise...

And this is the boat I bought today. WHAT A STEAL, $50. He wanted $100 that was a steal in itself. 10.5' very solid fiberglass dinghy. It is 99% perfect. Just needs some cosmetics and paint. Gonna ask $500 for it.....


This is after I pressure washed the bottom, when I got home.....
