All that's left is new bunks which are supposed to be delivered Wednesday, and installing the fishfinder. Waiting on that until the bunks are installed because I don't want to damage the transducer when I pull the boat off the trailer. Kid is going to bring the outboard over when he helps me with the bunks.

She’s ready for Lake Michigan! 

Nice! You have to order 2x4s? What’s this world coming to 

 

I’ve also never seen a winch stop like that...... I think I want one

The bunks come already carpeted and with new hardware. I've had to cut every bolt so far, with an angle grinder, on everything I replaced. I just don't want to screw around with it. I'll just cut off the old hardware and bolt up new.

Are the ladies going with???

Hell no....That's part of the master plan. ?

My daughter asked me a couple weeks ago when I'm getting a new boat. My answer was "Your boyfriend has a 22ft ski boat, go with him"

might consider an extra battery since that is your only means of propulsion

I have a 1960 something Evinrude that I gave to my son with another 14ft boat. He's giving the motor back to me. The boat I gave him was a 14ft Lund that I threw both a bow and transom mount motor on. He lives on an 80 acre lake and said the TM's are fine for what he needs. 

Bunks showed up today. Woohoo!

Looking good man

That’s a cool setup. I’ve been looking for a boat just like that. Nice 

She's finished. I'm going to name her "It'll do"

List of upgrades: Trailer bunks, trailer lights, wheels/tires, wheel bearings, jack, winch, new seats and transom, Garmin Echomap, battery, battery box. All the upgrades installed with SS hardware. The motor is a 1960s 15hp Evinrude I bought for another 14footer maybe 8 or 10 years ago. It started on the 3rd pull with new fuel and a bottle of seafoam. 

I like your tackle box! 
 

Where did you get your bunks? I need to replace mine this year or next. 

A chair might be worth installing on the back bench.

Cool man! What did you end up doing on the inside of the transom?

She looks like a million bucks!

I figured you would. My grandson want me to take him fishing for catfish. He's obsessed with them.

 

Bunks came from Eastern Marine. They have them in various lengths from 2 foot on up.

I might do 2 chairs. One on the back and one on the 3rd from the back for dad.

Good job, send pics of ya on the water with it. 
I heard Spider-Man was good luck.

Where did you get your carpeted bunks? I'm going to have to replace mine this fall.

Looking good bud. 

     I hope I can make a suggestion? You have all the weight (gas tank, motors and battery) in the back of the boat. Maybe try moving the battery forward. I have a very similar boat except I mounted my trolling motor off the bow. With the trolling motor and battery up in the front the trim is much better for me.

   I do love my old "tin cup".

I was thinking I might be stern heavy. I'll see what happens after the maiden voyage.
