The new project made it home safe and sound, big thanks to Chris for giving it up and Brian for dragging it back here from Arizona

Is there a motor in it ?

No motor, total project, but it is an original V-8 boat and all the parts are there, well at least the important ones

If'n it's already there. And just minding it's own business. I'd leave it alone ...
But it's your boat.

" Would it be wrong to delete that? "
Not in my eyes !
J/K
If your bring it back to original .. Yes keep it.
Is flake shot ?
What's your plans ?
OR
Still planning ?
-
Everything is always in flux...
Flake is shot, and a bunch of extra holes/fasteners.

That's just not right ...
-
You keep that abuse up and I'll alert the authorities. Have that boat returned to a warmer climate, where it belongs ...
-
I tired of snow, looking forward to spring. I'm in ft worth, left Omaha at 30 degrees, and folks here are complaining it's cold at 65. From the pics Joe, I have to admit it's the first time I noticed the trailer has a step on one side, and brackets like the other side did as well. For standing on to work on boat or as a deflector to protect the hull?
-
I think it’s so ya can get in without getting wet.

Had no time to get it under cover, don’t worry there’s nothing that a few inches of snow is gonna hurt.

Joe if I had that is would be in a warm heated garage. Not mater what shape it is in Glastron neglect is Glastron neglect.
-
It should have been protected from the Arizona sun also. Joe is doing a total restore.

Well I guess I could’ve brought it over to your house pulled your truck out of the garage and stuck it in there, oh well three more inches of snow last night and more to come. This sucks

I had covers on it for the past 5 or so years. The Damage was done long before that. There is no wood left in it to rot any more! Its great to see it is going to a good home. As far as being covered with snow? It was 95 here last weekend. I'd welcome a blanket of snow!

Yeah I guess too much of anything ain’t good, it’s just that the snow gets kind of old this time of year.
And yeah it’s going to take some doing, but this is going to be a really nice little boat when it’s done.

"Cabin Fever"

No pun intended, but we are in the same boat here in Nebraska. We missed 11 inches of snow here in Central City by about 60 miles to the Southwest.
-
Well OK ...
Four more snow days to go ...
-
60s at night, upper 70's during the day. Sigh ...
-
Some for me over on the other side Doug (heading to the Keys this weekend). Just giving you crap Joe.

I say plug that funny shaped hole in the back and go with Merc outdrive. Don't forget to raise the X dimension a lil. Mebbe a LS motor in fronta it ...

Interesting observation. All I saw was snow, yuk.
Most high dollar custom trailers round here have what we call 'gang planks' like that on either side. Think it's more for launching and retrieving?

It will be MerCruiser, small block Ford. I think the motor already touches the cover so not sure about raising it, going to have to wait till I get into the project to make some of those decisions.

I can extend the motor cover so it looks factory if you want to raise it.
