Sure can!

Something similar to what's on it now or something different?

Just like what's on it now. I'm going to keep it all original, just want to make it look fresh.

Great, I'll get going on removing all stripes and logos. We are going to try to clean up the hull sides with wet sanding, paint if I have to. I'd like you to install the stripes so I'll drag it down to your place if that works the best.

It's an original owner, fresh water off a small lake in New Hampshire. Merc 185 V6, 400 hrs. It had not been run since '96, spent several days cleaning and waking up the motor/drive etc and she fired right up. Got to clock 8 hrs on it before winterizing. Anyone else got one?

Are you right on the river going into Brandy pond?

Thanks,
Zach

Thought I'd post the progress on this little project. Spent a day buffing the entire boat with 3M restorer wax, she cleaned up way better than expected. Got the mechanicals squared away with new bellows, gimbal bearing, drive service/water pump, new starter, battery and full tune-up. Had a new hatch (teak from factory) made that's teak with holley inlay. The next step is a new stereo and she should be ready for the spring. Sure been a fun easy project.:drink: Here's a pic from last night.
