All the hard work was done.. stringers, floor, transom. And it fit together without to much help.. I just had to fix a few spots that the grinder got a little carried away  :o   Than make some seat bases and graft them into the floor.  Fix the gell-paint  make new seat pads, carpet, all the compartment covers, Put everything back where it needed to be, motor and wa-la..   easy-peasy    ;D

Looks great!

So this was originally Allan’s HPV-175 right?

Nice to see another one saved. Nice work!

Yep, thats the one… I didn’t go crazy on it, just made a nice fishing boat that you can get dirty and fish with and then clean it up and show off a little with it also..

Nice looking craft, and folks won't cringe if ya put a trolling motor on it.  Unlike Tim's gt-150.  Hope to see it at the meet.
