We had plotted and planned for a while about how to make a float without all the expensive bits and pieces. Through some combination of caffeine and insanity we decided that we should convert on old derelict power boat that had made its way to his yard to die.
Today we decide to start the project by cutting away the parts we knew we didn't need.
Craig started out with the sawzall while I tried to keep ahead of him by removing the interior.
One of Craig's friends wanted the cabintop for his own project so we cut it out separately.
With the rest of the deck removed and much of the interior gone the boat was getting a lot less skanky. I found the for sale sign buried deep in the bow and I wondered if it came standard with every new purchase.
We had to hurry to try and get the rest of the interior out before dark.
Here is where we left off. It really looked much better than in the photos. It was just too dark for the flash on my camera.
Our next step is to remove the old bits of trailer and prop up and level the hull. Then a good cleaning.
We have a rough idea of where we are headed but we need some details to go with them. So we figure a couple more planning sessions over coffee.
