Good advice OSD, i'm a creature of habit so a routine will definately help.
Thanks GLH.
Unfortunately this is what the interior looks like now. This will be the first major project of the winter. Planning on replacing the cloth w/ vinyl, new headliner & remove all the old carpeting & replace w/ some other material.

Sweet boat Brian. You will enjoy it, I'm sure. Welcome to the club. I love the liquor bottles as standard equipment in the late 80's, early 90's boats. My 89 Formula had them too and they definitely got used!

One other thing...
Hopefully you've had the boat surveyed and they did a moisture test. If not, the Cig 35's all have one bolt per tab that doesn't nut on the other side. It screws into the end of the stringer- it's a stainless lag bolt. This is a common place for water intrusion and subsequently rot. Especially if the tabs have been removed and the bolt wasn't re-sealed properly
If you haven't had a survey done, the best time to do so is before $$ changes hands. A transom and stringer job is pricey and May isn't the best time to start one.
