I got the boat last Thursday and will admit that as the shipper pulled in my driveway I was thinking something along the lines of "what have I done". The hull was very oxidized and very faded. After taking a look around though I came to realize it did indeed have a rebuilt motor, drive, new stringers, new fuel tank, and new interior (outside interior, not down below). So I came up with a plan to have it ready by labor day and my friend and I spent the night Friday (went to bed at 6am sat morning) putting a full black vinyl wrap from the rub rail down to the water line. Left the bottom red and the top white because they weren't faded. Anyways I love the color combo and couldn't be happier. Thankfully my friend is really good at doing wraps so total the cost was $250 for vinyl and beer. I have a few limited pictures from this weekend but we had it out everyday since Friday and couldn't be happier. Of course we've had a few hiccups along the way like the bilge pump switch is out so after being on the water for 3 days and it raining a little one of them I had to jump the wires to get a little water out, but its better than could be expected from a 20 year old used boat. I'll get more pictures soon.
