Trep, I've been a bit under the weather, so my energy to rip the boat apart and put it back together has been restrained. The boat is not wood free, but a lot of the construction is composite. We took her out yesterday. Fishing was slow Jeanne christened her with a couple of dinks.
Probably gonna have a two or three week stretch where I tear it apart, send the seats out to get the stitching repaired, get the prop reconditioned, rebundle all the loose wiring, add a front deck extension, figure out my rod storage solutions, etc.
Enjoyed fishing off her yesterday. Lanier had a moderate, sloppy chop, and the boat shrugged it off. When trolling, she didn't get blown around by the wind as much I had feared. The OMC trolling motor, although antiquated looking, is actually comfortable to use and pulls pretty strong. Was also pleasantly surprised to find all three batteries worked well enough to not be considered throw away.
Jeanne named the boat "the brave little toaster," because it's not much to look at, but still capable.
