Newly renovated!

Picked it up about a year ago for free and have been working on and off with repairs since then. It was full of cracks and holes when I picked it up but so nice to have it out on the lake!

Here's an image from when I had just started the repairs.

Impressive renovation! How's she handle? Is the area behind the bow closed?

Handles great as far as I can tell, better than the rentals I've used in the past. The areas behind the bow and stern are accessible, good for getting stuff out of the way but push it too far in and it gets a bit hard to reach.

That's cool. Having a hard deck is nice and you got a good spot for float bags without ruining your (pretty sweet) aesthetic.
