So I missed the Edit cut off so I'm posting the before and after pics here.
about 8 years ago I bought this
For $200 and restored it.
That was also me 62 pounds bigger.
I could have spent the same $2000 I spent restoring the boat on one that was ready to go, but I've always wanted to restore a boat. I did so, and learned that next time I'll save the time and buy a boat ready for fishing, and so I did, My Kayak.
