Read through the rest of this thread. Portella sold the boat to Brian 2.5 years ago. Brian has since torn the boat down in an effort to replace the transom and floor. There has not been any updates to this thread in nearly 2 years. Not sure where Brian is at in the project or if he is willing to sell but I would recommend contacting him. bbergstrom260@gmail.com

Was not that 135 HP sold to Joe B who determined that it was not worth rebuilding?  The boat came with a 75 HP Evinrude.

Not Joe's old one. This one is good to go with good comp. in all cylinders. Just need to clean it up like the rest of the boat.

Well folks....  The stringers are done!  I got motivated and picked up the project!

Plan  B is back in the game!

Now it's time to finish the floor and get the carpet back in!

Cheers!

Ya...  I got it all done.  It's not perfect, but it's going to be fully functional. I'm not too proud at this point.  It's called "Plan B" for a reason!

I meant, i'm not too much of a proud person...  i'm very happy with the boat. Life has been a journey. Looking forward to being on the water in my own boat for the first time in 4 years!

You can always do an aluminum plate later for added sealing and to cover the repair a bit...no big deal.

Very cool...glad you got back after it.
