This is my second project, the first one (also my first boat) I did back in 2013 and just sold due to going back to school and having a hard time justifying owning 2 boats.
You can check out the build here:

Anyway, here's what it looked like when I got it, as you can see it looks like the transom and splash well were cut down to fit a short shaft motor (shame!!), exterior paint looks ok in the pics, but it was bubbling in a lot of places and I wanted to start afresh so I gave it a bath in aircraft stripper. Bottom had about 25 years of anti fouling paint of different flavours that required blasting and grinding to get rid of. As of now the boat is pretty much ready to go, but I'll try to include all the pics of the process in a few posts.
