My rebuilt salvage 28 CC - finished photos

[GringoJohn]

I wish I had taken some before shots, but this was an abandoned hull we picked up for really cheap, and then dumped a ton of money and time into! Was a 7 day a week project for the last 3 months with me and another guy, we ended up spending around 30K plus motor, but I liked the way it turned out. Would have been cheaper to buy one fixed up, but WHERE IS THE FUN IN THAT!!! It was a fun build though, check out the tuna tubes and live well we put in. My 30 and 32 footer were good for roosterfishing, but really, when we aren't going to billfish I really would rather have the outboard. The motor is a Suzuki 200, the cover got scratched up really bad while we were doing the build, so I repainted it, funny enough, that was the hardest part of the build. Couldn't get ANYTHING to stick to that plastic without fish-eyeing. Finally figured it out though, and waiting for my new stickers. Going to be a lot of fun, we still have a bit of work we are going to do to this thing, but I'm excited and ready to start bending some rods!!!

Almost Finished pictures from today:






Our next project is building a big retractable shade for the front, should be done by the end of the week. Got the paperwork in process now, should be fishing in two weeks, going to nail some big roosterfish with this thing!
