Need To Get My Boat Done

[Jamesdean]

as you can see, a previous owner has taken all the wood and brackets off the boat. He made some seat top to boat side support brackets out of some flat stock aluminum which I have, but I think There is supposed to be a piece that goes between the corner brackets on top of the transom, not sure, and I didn't get one. My better half said when the tax return comes in I can go get the wood, and trolling motor, (a C2 40# with a 36" shaft), So in the mean time I bought a tarp and bungee cords over to wally world and got it wrapped up like a Christmas package and keeping the water out. Would love to put Mahogany on her, but will probably end up with some white oak with a mess of coats of Spar an it to keep it from rotting out and keep it looking good. Recon I'll keep the bench seats and not try to make a bass boat out of it. Later down the line, the good LORD willing I'll see about getting something my sweetheart will get on as she has a major fear of the water after her first husband ran into a channel marker and sank the boat with her and their oldest son on board ( AN infant at the time )...so she is scared to death of the water....if it isn't in a tub or shower that is, hahahaha...Any way if some knows about that piece between the rear corner braces over the transom please let me know. Make of the boat I don't know, I haven't found a data plate anywhere, and the title says a 1969 aluminum Utility baot. Searches haven't revealed any thing yet. thank you if you have read this far, and always Productive Comments are always welcome. Eric "jamesdean" Pierce.
