It for sure is a disease
 

So even though I'm not near finished with the Seacraft project the disease has hit me again.

I found this on the side of the road in Islamorada and much as I tried I gave in.

It's a 1978 Ashcraft 14.5 open. And after a bit of haggling I threw out a 100 offer and he bit.

Now that's for boat and trailer.

The hull outsides will buff out . The transom was redo e 2 years ago and it looks it. The interior needs the rug to be pulled out and pressure cleaned. The floors and decks are solid.. it's just ugly.

Plan is to clean it and roll on gelcoat and get a 35hp engine and fish it

If my wife only knew

Looks like a fun little project. My wife would kill me so good for you!��
