RE: check out this boat resto
I recently bought a 75 ranger 185 A and I put A LOT of work into it and now it looks just as it did when it came off the showroom floor. I finally got the ole johnson seahorse 4 running on it yesterday. It sounds GREAT.

good deal man, post some pics if you get a chance, i like the older boats and resto jobs, there is a guy at guntersville that has a mid 70's allison with a 115 merc that is awesome, everytime i see him, i pick at him about selling it

WOW!!!
WOW!
WOW!
That man is good but I bet it cost a few thousand to restore.,.
You know what Keith..I could afford a nice boat like that and my wife would be supportive..but I always worry about the darn thing not starting and how much it would cost to keep it going..how I would get it back on the trailor when the battery dies..[&o]Shoot..I don't even know how to start one..I'm serious..
My dream boat would be a 14 foot alumiweld type boat..no rivots..with a NEW dependable 15 HP on it..pull start and live well with lights..then I could fish tournaments..
