Fishing on the cheap!

Ok, I have a bunch of junk. Last august 2009 my 72,Tidecraft transom failed.
well, i decided to build from an 66 Dixie hull. I really dought i have more than 3 or 4 hundred in it. A lot was already in service on the Tidecraft. Well it took me three month to get this done (before winter) so there are a corners cut, like seats, could have run the deck on back but im happy with it!

pretty much a neat little boat! The engine..well one of the most dependable i ever seen. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...s/P5070346.jpg

Re: Fishing on the cheap! (rnger373v)

I got the Dixie about eight years ago.The transom was bad, I tore it out then.
Lost interest and it set until last year. It was every spare moment all day Sat/Sunday in between rain showers job. Thanks for the kind words!
