You stole it on ebay.. how much did you pay for the trailer since there was no trailer included in the auction?
beautifull boat.. i would just remove the arch, cut the windshield down and wrap it.
congrat on your purchase.

I use super degreaser from meguiars professional detailing line of products. Spray it all down and go to town with whatever brush it takes to get in every nook and cranny.

I've had the best luck with HOT water and Simple Green -- Disconnect the batteries and fill the bilge just to the point below the oil pan-- estimate it -- add Simple Green full strength and let it soak-- scrub with a scrub brush on a handle as best as you can rinse and it should work.
If you really want it clean (I do this more often than not) is again fill the bilge with hot water add Simple Green and a couple of tennis balls. At this point the boat is on the trailer and I drive to wherever I'm going, pull the drain plug- remove the tennis balls and hose out till clear. The agitation with the tennis balls really does a good job. If I could attach a pic of the bilge I could -- but it really does keep it clean.

It's been a long time coming and a lot of sweat getting it ready but yesterday went better than I could have hoped. Boat ran so good, pretty much every gauge and button was working and it just rides so ****ing good.
Major things I tackled: Cut off the arch, cut down the windshield, Mitcher T Paint, painted the interior
add to that 100 little things and trying to keep up with normal life and I had myself a 9 month project. Which is kind of fitting because this thing is like my baby, I think I'll put a picture in my wallet to show people lol.
Thanks to everyone on here for the encouragement and kind words along the way.
