Bumping an old thread! Here's my Dirty Hooker... I spent the better part of the spring and into the summer last year restoring this boat after I bought it. It may not look like much but it's come a long long way. Had it stripped down to complete bare metal and filled every leak on it, then repainted and rebuilt everything. I'll try an find some rebuild pics too.

'83 Mirrocraft Lake Fisherman II
Johnson 9.9 4 stroke
Minn Kota Traxxis 80lb 24v w/ 2 pairs of batteries

Here's the before rebuild pics... All I can say is thank god for G/Flex marine epoxy cuz she had some leaks when I got her. My buddies and I sealed EVERY SINGLE rivet and seam on the bottom side of the boat after stripping it down to bare metal. The floor was also replaced as it was rotted. I built framing on the back where I've now mounted the downriggers. The biggest thing was having friends who are good with electrical to help me wire this thing and all the batteries. It sure isn't as nice as a new boat but it beats having a payment right now.

Here's the before, during, and after of my creation.

I do have a 50 Hp Mercury that is still in pieces for it. But the 9.9 is getting me by until I get around to it.

Awesome transformation. Do you fish Merrill Creek? I think I've seen your boat there?

Thanks.

I've been to Merril a few times. I spend most of my time at Spruce Run.
