Ski Barge Retool(ongoing project)

[Talltails]

I recently bought an 80's model Kenner Fishin' Ski Barge. It's the 17' Flats Fisher model with a tunnel hull. Figured it'll be an upgrade for getting my father in law and also my kids out on the flats in lieu of my kayak.

I really like this model boat and thought it would be a worthy candidate as a fixer upper. The motor is a 2005 90 HP Johnson(Bombardier) and runs great. The rest of the boat was seriously dated and really needed a lot of clean up work.



First, the 25 year old carpet had to go



I rolled on some new gel coat


Next is a new rub rail, then a trolling motor.........

Nice boat brother! I never thought I would see you in another gas burner after you sold the skiff!

You could glue some 3 tabs on the front deck for traction....
