SC 18 project
 

I just picked up this boat yesterday. It's a 1974 model...the guy wanted it out of his yard and said I could have it if I removed it for him. Time to begin a new project.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like a 20, not an 18. Pretty sweet deal nonetheless. I can't wait to see it restored.

Re: SC 18 project
 

That is a 20 but as Scott states its FREE and a SICK deal!!

Congrats on the new boat!!

Re: SC 18 project
 

I wonder what the idea of the twin D ring's on each side of the transom is?

Re: SC 18 project
 

Wow! Nice Hit. Especially considering the beauty sitting alongside her. Do you plan to document the refurb. w/pictures? Best of luck. Vezo, Part II.

Re: SC 18 project
 

To be honest with you...I didn't even notice. The guy told me it was an 18...I hooked it up to the truck and took it home. I snapped a few pictures yesterday and that was it. I have the title and registration in my truck...I'll have to check it out. But yes...it was free and I didn't want to ask too many questions before I left with it.

Vezo,
Yes, I plan to document the rebuild. I was inspired by a buddy of mine who did a 27 and also by the pics on this website. His boat was completely finished waiting for motors when Wilma floated it off the trailer and into a tree causing a lot of damage to it. He also has owns 4 18s. We are planning on finishing this boat so it matches the 05 23 that we have...only difference is that we plan on installing a bimini top instead of T-top. This boat will be for the sandbar and taking the dogs out.

Awsome deal! I just picked up a 78' 20 Master Angler this weekend myself and plan on a complete re-fit of the boat. I guess it will be a long term one year type project. Too bad your not closer to NY or myself closer to you, we would be able to help each other out.

When I saw the boat it was 16 degrees, so I really coulden't check if the deck was rotten or not. Transom looked good, and she overall was a really good shape, all she would need is a paint job and some minor glass work, but I want to go all out on this build. Close the transom, add bracket, new floors, rebuild console, etc.

Re: SC 18 project
 

Stand on the deck and if you can hear the ice cracking inside the core....then its rotted.

Re: SC 18 project
 

My deck was rotted pretty badly...mine is getting a complete face lift. This boat had been neglected in the last year or so and all of the hurricanes didn't help much. Good luck on your rebuild.
