new boat project.

[D-Rock425]

I've decided to get gramps old boat back on the water this summer and maybe go catch a few humpies and crab.  Its an old girl that's been sitting since 2008.  Hopefully she'll work out for me.

Are you lookin in the mirror?  You can be the pot puller 

[D-Rock425]

Captain of the boat should never pull a pot.

Bow railing.
Looks like a fun project.  My cousin has one sitting in the woods very similar to that and I have been trying to get him to bring it back to life for the sake of Uncle Roger's memory.  I might have to fix it up for him next winter.

This is a 16 foot 1964 Apache its a classic.

[PolarBear]

Yep, same boat and probably very close to the same year.

agree,the Apache is a classic and can't wait to see the restoration documented and it back where it belongs on the water.

Funny naming a boat Apache.

Cool lookin' boat Darren. Looks about 100 times better than Stang's boat that actually did get out last year. If you need any help let me know. I can run a buffer with the best of 'em and get that hull nice and shined up.

I'd like to paint in camo and duck hunt the bay next year.

[snocohunter]

That could be done, my cousin is a painter, and we've camo'd a few aluminum sleds. Plus i have a sneak boat i still haven't used, but now i've got my truck to haul it.

Stang and I got both motors running yesterday with no problems.  Need to get tabs for both boat and trailer then its off go the lake for a test drive.

   My thoughts were that it looked like you had good stock for power, those old Johnsons were workhorses.
