ok so i picked up my first boat off a friend, i payed 500 bucks for it, came with the trailer, motor, all equitment, basically turn key
my intitial intentions were to just clean er up fart around with it, do some tubing and sell it and upgrade, now ive kinda taken a liking to her
its a 1968 17' grew SS 170
it has a johnson 115hp outboard
im going to start next week by putting all new interior in it, then soon as it gets warmer a full paintjob,
ive been looking at towers as well, and and 99% sure ill be adding a tower, go classics!
oh that red spot that looks shiney, its where i polished the boat to see if there was any life left in the red! |

Hey Dip_Krew, congrats on the new boat. Bit of love and hardwork and you'll have something to be proud of. My first boat was a Stebercraft with an 80hp on it. I couldn't afford anything better at the time and she did the job just fine.....
Enjoy.....(keep the pics coming as you progress) |
