I picked up this boat near the marsh in south Louisiana.
Does anyone have an idea who or when it was made.
it’s a flat bottom with a semi v bow.

I gutted the hull and now have a nice canvas to work with.
Any suggestions appreciated.
The boat is all 3/16 thick except the Dimond plate is 1/8
The boat is 19’ long and 8’ Beam
weight is 1,400 lbs

I feel like I need to sand blast the whole boat. Every place that had a connection has a decent amount of corrosion. Lots of holes to fill.
Anyone use the Vulcan 220 tig welder? What filler rod?

Re: ID old gulf coast boat and ideas on refurb
Hey Justin, welcome to the AAB.com Forum.
The links don't open for me? and I don't see images in the text? In fact, on my display I see the string printed out.
May want to edit the post to see if the image attachment feature is OK maybe its just my old PC?
Cheers,

When I uploaded the pictures I was using my phone to create the post. I just copied and pasted the picture to the post.
What is the best way to upload?
