Next project

[Raider Ronnie]

Picked up this 10ft skiff for the right price.
It's wood and pretty light weight.
Going to grind the outside and glass over it with a few layers of matt, gelcoat gray (to match the BHM28) red boot stripe & black bottom paint.
Will clean up the inside & paint it with Brightsides white ( also match the BHM28)
What made me grab this one is the raised slats on the floor so I'll mount a small bilge pump and a small battery so no bailing after it rains.
Should be pretty stable being somewhat flat bottom.
Will hang a 4hp Johnson on it.

I grew up in my families auto body shop as I kid and been collecting a pay check doing it for over 35 years.
The resin fumes did their damage long long ago !

Those old 2 stroke 2 cylinder 4 hp Johnson/Evinrudes (the 50:1 oil mix) from the late 1960's and 70's are sweet little motors

I got one.

Starts 1 pull & purrs like a kitten.
