Have a boat that just might float

Nick has been on a boat quest for quite some time now.  His research had led him most recently to deciding that perhaps he could build his own plywood boat.  There were a few in process projects being sold off on Craigslist but nothing quite right.  And then he found this beauty!  He will have to come back and correct all these details, but it is a 15 foot plywood boat complete with a tilt trailer and goes great with a motor he was given.

There was no "proper" before shot taken but here you can get the idea.  Nick has already gutted it and is in the process of removing all the old paint.  The plan is then to replace any rotten pieces, epoxy the hull, repaint it and of course deck it out with new seating, storage and wooden accents.  I am sure it will be amazing!  Stay tuned.

Gunnar thinks we should name it Iron, short for Iron Man.  Imagine that!
