Finding a boat is easy. Depending on your skills and work involved you can find a bare hull from $500- $2500 on a trailer. The hull that I will be working with is a 1983 Sanger picklefork stage1 5 rib drag boat. This hull is a "lite lay up" 320 lbs. and has a rocker bottom, nick named "banana hull".This style of bottom aids the boat to set and "fly" as well as re-entry back into the water, and also has a 38" cockpit which will allow two seats. I prefer ex-race boats, as they have already been put to the limits. Anything that can crack, break or shake apart has already done so. Using this boat as a hotrod I will add support to areas that need extra strength to handle the rigors of pleasure use.
