Title: My winter boat project
Post by: brijones1 on February 12, 2010, 08:52:28 PM: My good friend Nick and I have been slowly working on a 14ft Grumman that was given to us. The boat sat upside down in the corner of Nicks father in laws house for years and was almost brown in color when we decided to fix it up. After spending a few dollars on plywood, paint, indoor/outdoor carpet, and some other expenses we finished our project today. We also were given a nice 6hp motor to boot. I can't wait to try our new setup, it should be perfect for medium size lakes and back bay crabbing/fishing. Enjoy the pics

Post by: brian8980 on February 14, 2010, 07:54:00 AM: If I can ask, what kind of paint did you use on the boat? Was it just regular home depot paint or bottom paint for a boat?

Krylon fusion, I used it last year on my 12ft jon boat and it worked great. Beads the water off, doesn't chip, and didn't fade.

Post by: striper74 on February 14, 2010, 09:04:37 PM: Real Nice! I picked up a 12 foot delhi Streamside about 15 years ago from a guy I worked with for $100 with a old six horse chrysler o.b. He said it didn't run..... With a can of carb cleaner, starter fluid, and a new plug I had it running a half hour after getting it home. Wish I knew you had to change the gear oil in the lower unit. (but I was about 20 and didn't know crap about o.b.'s)5hrug Got a couple of good seasons out of the motor with pop (kezsr) and my brother..... Round Valley, Spruce Run and Delaware River (Smithfield Beach Launch) Even the Raritan River at home in Manville. That is a nice looking boat, hope you enjoy it! t^
