New Boat, New to me anyway

[Crab Pot]

CuttyHunker/Brewcrafter,

I will replace the impeller and I'm sure the carb needs a good cleaning, may rebuild it while it's off.

I'll be sure to post progress photos.

First day of demo in the books.

The boat looks way bigger without seats.

I sure this boat was once owned by a drywall contractor, every screw I've pulled has been one length of drywall screw or another. They would have never held up in brackish and salt conditions. Drilling out the factory rivets is next, but not this week.

I'm going to Sand Mountain (Nevada for those that don't know) to get my high-power sand dune fix on Thursday and I need to prep!

Demo Day Two Complete.

Tore out the majority of the deck, all of the seating, V-notches on the bow, and the fuel deck. Haven't decided if the steering console deck is worth the effort.

My little rodent friends didn't make it, but they sure did stink for being as small as they are/were. The rear deck and fuel deck hard foam was a maze of little rodent tunnels. They must have had easy access in and out in Nevada but not on my side yard. No one report me to PETA please... 

Under the decks was a time capsule of fishing gear, all rusted out of course, but I could tell what it was. My shop vac is going to a workout as will my pressure washer.

I have to work Saturday and Sunday so till next time,
