Practically Free Boat, needs work

Ok, before you jump on this please realize this is a project.  The hull and transem seem solid, but there are some weather cracks in the fiberglass, some down to the foam, although there is no damage below the waterline that I am aware of.

It's an 11-foot boston whaler copy that's been spraypainted camo for duck hunting, on a VERY rusty trailer, with side console and 15hp outboard that is missing the top cover.  I started the motor once, but have never had the boat in the water.  I bought it to fix up but then got a kayak and it's been sitting in storage ever since.  Previously it was stored outside, hence the weather damage.

I got it with no paperwork, and that's how she goes... 

Could be a good project, or a decent beater as-is once you sort out the motor.  You're on your own as far as registration, etc....

I have no idea who made it, but it's NOT a Boston Whaler.

You'd have to pick it up in Fremont, one block off 880.

If someone wants it I'd take a trade...  Reels?  Rods?  Beater yak?  A nice 240mm paddle?  Beer???

Note I hauled it from Petaluma so the trailer should still be road-worthy, but like I said it's been sitting a couple years.

Im surprised nobodys jumping on that one Eric.....

It'd be a killer duck/delta bass boat, and with a little work I think it would handle the Bay easy.  It's pretty much identical to a Whaler 11 Sport.  Stainless rails, "Sport" type console, etc.

I'm probably making it sound worse than it is...  I'm certain anyone familiar with boats could get it on the water with an hour or twos work, but to make it nice would be a bit more work.

 

Sounds like its got great potential.....if I brought another boat home my family would disown me.    but.....it would be cool to have something small to customize a la my flamed yak.......decisions decisions.

Flamed yak?
