Last weekend, my family and Katelyn went up to our Fishing camp for the weekend to relax and get away from everything, but also to begin another project. Steven and I are working on my Grandfather's Bass Boat and hope to get it running again soon.. According to my grandfather it ran fine.... two years ago, and stored outside without a cover and no other protection or storage set up.... First up was to replace the trailer tires and we bought them before we left for the fish camp. First inspection shows, cracked seats, rotten seat boards, dead batteries, mildew, and leaves everywhere. The boat made the 3 hour trek back home without any issues. First parked it at Stevens house to clean off and to attempt to start after the batteries charged, the motor will not crank no power to starter. So yesterday i moved the boat to my house where it will likely stay for the foreseeable future. thus far i have determined the trolling motor, Accessories and, nav lights all work. I'll keep posting updates and pictures as i progress. Here are a few pics of the boat!
