Before and Afters - Boat Project
 
We bought this piece of crap boat and made her into a fishing machine in 2 weeks.... I did all of the hull work and prepped for painting and my husband designed and built the house from scratch... Here are some before and after pics.. shes about 90 % done... now we have a "brand new" boat sitting in the yard ready to go for next season.... its going to be a long winter:smash:

When she came home

Just wondering if it took a lot of cash to turn it around. Or if it was reasonable. Deff a nice turnaround

Awesome job! I am very jealous of you and your husbands skills.

I love the hull, you picked a very good boat to refinish.
