Both engines are getting the 525 top end maintenance (pull heads, replace valve springs, replace lifters, etc.) boat has 280 hrs. Sending headers to CMI for pressure check and repair as needed. Replacing stereo and stereo controls, have the original 05' Kenwood with the controls at helm and transom.

Assuming we can keep a boat for more than one season without giving in to the urge of upgrading (it would be a first), all new led lights in the cabin, cockpit, and swim platform, installing subs and amps, new custom dash panels and throttle controls, and diamond plating the engine compartment. That is all. For now......

If things come together, then I'll buy Verbi's boat. But with circumstances being what they are, I'll probably lose out on that. So, for the 300 I'm thinking definite stereo upgrade, maybe some LED's, maybe some paint work, and probably a little prop work.

I did quite a bit of little things over the last few winters in heated storage. This coming winter I'm looking at adding a Imco full hydraulic steering system, the usual maintance stuff, and a little bigger mirror in the cabin for my girl.
