Found this Baja on Ebay for 250 bucks

Picture of boat before any change.

Side view before change.

Start to remove hardware and strip the boat

More demo

Transom needs to be replaced.

My girls wishing it was done.

Wood in the nose of the boat was in good shape.

Wood in the back of the upper needed a little work but not bad.

Another shot o the nose.

Bottom hull, no stringers just solid fiberglass in good shape.

Transom area is showing signs of rot.

Foam was water logged

Time to remove wood.

Grinder came in handy to cut out the wood that was glassed into place.

Now this took alot of work. Cut around transom with grinder and then started chipping away at old transom. Once I got the wood out I used the grinder to clean up the back of the fiberglass to mount the new transom too.

Foam, wood, and Transom removed. Used grinder to clean up hull and power washed.

Cut new plywood pieces and coated with resin. Position plywood and started fiberglassing them into place.

Shot from the front showing plywood glassed in.

Moving on to the transom I made a couple of clamps to hold the transom in place so the resin can set up.

Two pieces of 3/4 plywood glassed together using stainless steel screws. Coated all edges with resin.

Position Transom, start laying fiberglass.

In the corners I used a bondo product that was a jelly resin to add a big rad in the corner.

Lower Hull ready to paint.

I used interlux paint system, sanded with 220 grit and applied primer with roller and brush.

Second coat of primer with lite sanding between coats.

Hull ready for paint.

Choose Interlux perfection, color Rochelle red. I cant tell you how bright and glossy this came out!

Second coat, sanding between coating.

Pick this motor up on Ebay for $1000, Very low hours and great compression.

Fisrt coat of primer upper hull.

Second coat.

Primed upper hull.

Ready for paint

Decided to add a gas tank in the nose so I glassed a piece of plywood to support the tank.

Upper hull gets first layer of paint.

Second layer of paint, start to bolt all the hardware back on.

Decided to go with all black components, vent intakes where chrome. Sander and painted black.

Dash, wiring, and gauges.

Tank finally arrived (12 gallon), also coated the inside of the hull with interlux bilge coat.

Upper hull complete.

This was fun putting the two hulls back together. Had to build a fixture to in order to get the upper to fit.

Worked out good!

Carpet, seats.

Sander and repainted hood.

Motor mounted.

Battery and bilge pump installed.

(Insert New Description)

New seats from Cabelas.

Getting close.

Motor runs great.

Still need rubrail.

Finished boat sitting in Lake Huron.

Boat ran great, no problems.

Looks good just sitting in the water.

Handle good in the turns.

Had some of the old Baja logos made out of vinyl.

Snaps on plane.

Hull was stable in the big water.

Just a fun boat to drive.

On to the next project.
