Jobs to do
When washing inside, found one 6 inch keel crack, doesnt seem to be leaking but i will have that tigged up on tuesday, fixed a couple of cracks around the gunnel with the mig, not game to tackle the keel with that though.

gota love boats as much as fishin (well not quite). As for having the gear to do repairs etc, if you buy good gear once you can do that repair and many more later on, saves a lot of money and as i dont like to work to often.
Might even put this one on the market cause i really wanted a 12 footer, comes with a 4.5 merc and sounder, fresh coat of paint (wont be fresh for long)
cheers
