Boat Restoration Is Almost Finished!

My wife has been doing a restoration on our old Tracker boat. She is almost finished. She stopped working on it to the point that it is fishable so we can spend the summer and fall fishing. She will finish the upgrading over the winter. It is very hot here in the Mohave desert and easier to work outside over the winter. Here are the updated photos though. We are so excited about the new look of our old boat! 






She stripped everything out of it. Started with nothing but an empty hull. Sanded the sides. and started welding the insides together. 







After all the welding was done my wife and her dad painted the boat and hung it up to dry... 
Redneck Style! 




The red and black paint job looks amazing! Then she brought it back to our garage and started the rebuilding!

The trailer was awful and rusted. It looked terrible and the runners were so worn the nasty brown carpet was almost completely gone. 

Gross.
She got new wood and carpet for the runners. She got new rollers and a new jack. She sanded everything down and got the rust out for painting. She painted it red and it looks amazing.

New Paint!

New Black Carpet!
Final Product!
Looks Amazing!
