That would make one hell of a floating duck blind.
I already have a 16'er that is undergoing duck blind transformation as we speak. This one will be a barge to and from my camp plus shenanigans

The boat looks good to me, seems more aerodynamic than others I've seen.
Give us a recap when all is done.

If I had a camp on the water, one of these would almost be required. Just an old beater to get stuff out to the camp, transport kayaks, and drink while put-putting around. That's worth a lot more than 2k to me.

Do the rod/reels come with it?
Are there wheels under there somewhere?

Looks just like the old propstop taxi boat that sank used to be a YouTube video of it sinking with about 15 people on it.. I wasn't on the boat when it went down. But I did see it first hand it was fassst!

we were waiting on it to come pick us up. Was one of the greatest things I have ever seen. You are right it did go down fast too

Where is your camp? Jealous

Very nice restoration.
I hate to rain on the parade, but have you had it in the water long for any length of time?
It looks like the previous owner used copper antifoul, and it is pitting the hull pretty badly. I would seriously consider checking out the pits. You may be looking at soda-blasting the bottom half of both pontoons and repainting with an epoxy-paint (Interprotect 2000e). That or you may wake up one morning and the boat will be dam near underwater. Check your anodes as well. Copper will eat zinc before aluminum, but as soon as that zinc is gone it'll turn the hull to swiss cheese.
Sadly I speak from experience. Good luck

camp is offshore of port o'connor tx
toons are pitted from barnacle encrustation plus I had it sandblasted
I am monitoring it though as I have similar concern
it's fixable if I have an issue
