    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.

    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!











    These were some phone pics.
