Re: 1972 K-20, The Green Truck Project

Quick update: No real progress on the Green Truck. Reason, fishing got in the way. Pulled the boat out of storage last summer...started fishing...and then the Daughters and wife got me a new fish-finder for Christmas. So my time has been spent working on the boat.

A few pictures...

Picked up the boat, motor and trailer in 2000 for $600. Added casting platform, seats and trolling motor that summer (Pic #1). Boat is 1960 Rich Line, motor is 1074 Mercury 20HP 2-stroke. Works well.

Pic #2 is the tear down...was originally going to install new fish-finder...then it turned in to much, much more. Pulled transom wood (original), and replaced with marine grade plywood that is epoxy coated. Added all the framing from aluminum, ran wires, created storage, etc. Plan to carpet this winter.

Pic #3 is the original transom wood, and the replacement.

Pic #4 is the how it fishes today.
