The Aly Oop spent her whole life on a small fishing lake in Highlands, NC. We have so many amazing memories on this boat. My mom passed 4 years ago and my dad now has Alzheimer's. He's doing well and we're going to make some more memories before he fades damnit.
Aly never left the lake or had much in the way of maintenance. We could never figure out a way to keep the rain out of her either. She wound up half sunk. The neighbor called and said if we didn't do something soon, she would be lost. I bought a Jon boat trailer, which fit well amazingly, and convinced my buddies to help rescue hebr />
We really got her in the nick of time. I don't see any rot on the outside, but the inside has a little damage.
A year later I started looking for someone to renovate her. Nobody would have anything to do with it. There are about 2 shipwrights near Atlanta. 3 year waiting list and a ridiculous cost.
So, she is now my main hobby and I'm loving it! I need some serious education though.
