So here's the tale of woe, getting my 16 ft Landau boat refurbished. It's a 1983 and the previous owner (somewhere along the line) put in a new floor and console (so it seems). Here's some beforehand pictures.
Here's how it looked after purchase.
Not too bad. It's got a 60 HP Johnson, which had great compression (140±1 PSI).
My daughter and her daycare colleagues. I don't have too many before pictures!
Here's my daughter and niece playing in the boat before a fishing excursion.
OK, so much for the before picks. The floor felt like a sponge and I decided it was time to be replaced. The saga continues...
