    1976 Ranger 175 A (BUSTED TRANSOM)

    I bought this boat two years ago from my wife's uncle. He garage kept it and he had bought it from the original owner when it was 4 years old, I am the third owner.
    I was going to originally make this an all electric boat until I found out I had an Allison designed hull. I have always wanted an Allison so I knew I had to re-power, no question about it.
    Enough back story.

    Stripping her down
















    Trolling motor coming off














    Gas tank removal/ bilge clean out


    a little help








    LED front console installed


    End of another day
