the ski is still in the snow bank.
Actually, the ski is sitting right next to the boat. Step 1 is complete, boat is gutted. Next is to pressure wash all the shit out of it. Then flip it and strip the hull.
This is litteraly a ground up restoration. No more bass boat!

been working on it on and off. Ski is cut up, all wires and hoses labeled for reassembly. All steering brackets, reverse and choke cables removed. Fuel and oil tanks removed. Getting ready to make final cuts to the ski and cut the hole in the boat. I'll get some pics up soon.
