New old boat
 

Kids wanted a boat and I wanted a project, so we're all happy. Just pulled the trigger on a 1972 20 ft. The deck is shot, but the hull and transom seem solid. Has a Mercury tower of power, but I'll most likely repower. Original tank is under the console seat. Have removed the console and the tank. Plan to get a tank fabricated to go under the deck. I think I want to remove the liner and leave about a 6 inch gunnel. I don't think I'm going to go bracket route. But maybe raise the transom to 25?

I've enjoyed looking at all the restorations on here and already gotten a lot of valuable information, but get ready for a lot of questions.

Thanks

sal, just curious how did you find the boat (craigslist or something) and how much did you pay for it.

Can't wait to see the restoration!

I found it on Craigslist - $1250

good find!

Very nice, have fun restoring the old gal!

You pulled the tank out? Was it the Orginal from when the boat was built? I am trying to cut a access in my floor with out pulling the whole cover from over the tank. If you have any measurements or pics you could share would be great.

nice find ! cant wait to see her finished

Nice find! Looking forward to the rebuild.

Cwynne, my tank was under the center console. I can grab some measurements tonight if you need them. But I didn't have to cut anything as it just sat there.
