Have always wanted to do a Roadkill project like they do on the online Roadkill show with junk classic cars, but with a boat instead. Guessing its a 1979 but have seen ones on line they say are 1978, so dont know for sure yet. I picked up for $200 an would add a motor and hope to have on the water with not much more than $500 total investement. I found a 1978 140hp tower of power (from old fishing boat) even though never was a merc fan, for $175 but might be able to get for less. No power trim for now, but throw in a quick floor, couple seats and gas tank and see what it will do. Any members ever try something crazy like this?
