Title: Upgrade
Post by: dirtwheelsfl on October 08, 2012, 03:50:55 PM

Well my friend's old pro line finally bit the dust, and we were debating on rebuilding that, or finding another boat. Happened upon this one over on pine island which was on here awhile ago. A bunch of cash and gutted hull and trailer brought it over here. Plans are to definitely add a lower station with spots for electronics and helm/controls, and modify the box under the tower to hold ice in the front. My job over the weekend was to remount the paralift bracket lower to accomodate the short shaft suzuki he has.

old proline:

Is that a tunnel down the centerline of the hull bottom? Never seen that on an Aqua...
