New Boat

[GAfisherman]

I finally got me a boat. I got a 1979 brooks bullet with a 1984 mercury 150. I am replacing the floor and carpet this week and doing a few other things to it. I will post before and after pictures of it.

Its a 17 footer. Tonight a bunch guys and I worked for about six hours and got the floor almost completly replaced. Tomorrow we are going to get the carpet in and put a new ignition switch in. I got some pictures so I will post them and them post some more next week when I get it all cleaned up.

<font color="#ff0066">Hey GaF.... one word of caution.... with the 150 on it..BE CAREFUL... I had a 19 footer and it took me about 3 months to learn how to drive the Bullet...DON'T LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL...SHE TORQUES TO THE RIGHT REAL HARD...lol   AND NO, I DID NOT DO THAT...it just took a long time getting used to.... before the Bullet I had a 115 merc and it was so simple...  just thought I would give my .02 worth..   FA</font>
