Subject: RE: My First Boat - need advice


he was real meticulous about keeping track of his receipts, etc.
in the past year since he bought it, he put ~$4700 into the it. mostly having the motor completely rebuilt, but also had work done with the onboard electronics, and had the trailer bunks rebuilt and totally rewired. so...he took a hit, basically reselling it for what he paid a year ago minus everything he had done to it. apparently he's moving and needs the cash bad.
nice custom cover and wavewackers you had done, by the way. he even had the receipts from those. too bad i didn't get the brand new lowrance gps/sounder that he had on it! it's still got the eagle classic on the bow, i'll need to get something for by the tiller.
the on-board charger is working on two banks, so i think i'll give that to my brother-in-law who only needs the two for his boat. any suggestions on a brand other than Guest to replace it with?
i'm also going to tackle re-carpeting it. there seems to be some pretty good kits available out there for doing it yourself, and the layout of this boat lends itself to an easy job - mostly straight lines and the lids aren't in the middle of the floor or anything fancy like that. with a new carpet job and some elbow grease rubbing some fiberglass restorer in, it'll be looking new in no time!
