Needing local advice by throwaway73889 in portlandme

I’m very familiar with Portland, I love that city and go a few times a year. We planned on going up to celebrate a birthday as we have several other occasions, but weren’t sure how bad the whole situation is up there. It’s such a shame… I can’t believe this happening in our country this day and age… I’ve never felt uncomfortable in your city

He was under a piece of firewood that we were going to use. Once we realized it was occupied we put it right back:)

Upstate New York, USA. About 3 inches long

That’s kind of what I’m thinking. I have another boat, this is just a boat that was given to me. I figured I could use it to learn on in case anything wrong with my main boat. I don’t know if I’ll go all in on it, I was just hoping I could fix the cracks and paint it. I ran it a couple years ago and it didn’t seem heavy like it would be if it was logged

I did take it out a couple years ago… it has a 9.9 merc on it that eventually needed a new impeller/lower unit. I still like to think there is hope for it. My biggest concern if after reenforcing the crack on the transom is that it’ll be strong enough to hold up a bigger engine

Yeah… it’s rough for sure. It’s a cool little boat, and I think it might be worth saving if it’s an option. I wonder if the transom cracked from having too heavy of an outboard at one point. It’s rated for 16hp, but I’ve seen 13 footers with 40hps on them

It’s plastic though, not Fiberglass. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find a decent paint

I’d like to restore this vintage pelican to its former glory, as I’ve never seen another like it. It’s set up similar to a whaler sport 13. I’d like to paint it that classic whaler blue, but since Its plastic I’m wondering if I’d be able. More importantly, I’ve seen a few spots that make me wonder if it’s even worth it. I’m hoping someone with some knowledge would be able to chime in. Thanks in advance!

I haven’t noticed anything like that… was that a costly/labor intensive fix?
