I bought this boat from member atl963 earlier this year, and have been working on it since. Finally got to the point at which I figure I can show it off.

Keep in mind, I am 15, and have had very limited experience working with metal, especially aluminum.

That last pic of the back deck modification was the best one.

Freedom isn't free, visit a National Cemetery and see the price first hand.
