Some new spark plugs and new light bulbs in the trailer and she's ready to go. Turned up the idle a bit, threw in a battery and the old girl fired right up. Be in the lake Wednesday weather permitting.

Good luck, hope it runs good on the water.

I cringe every time I see a boat parked by someone's house without any type of cover on it.

Yea, no cover doesn't do any of the interior any good, as was the case here, still needs a bit of upholstery work on the front cushions. Seats came with the boat when he bought it, I picked up some cheap indoor/outdoor carpet for the rest and used a deck sealer for all the new wood, refiberglassed the corners on the motor cover to strengthen them back up, fixed a couple cup holders that were gone. Did all for a little money, but just a cheap cover would have saved that money for better things. I believe he told me it sat for 7-8 years before he got, hopefully we finally got all the bugs worked out in the last year. Now just need to get a top ordered.

He is, he's totally happy with it. I know a guy quoted him around $1200 to do what I did for a couple hundred. Plus he's really happy with the fillet board that I made for him this winter.

Wow, you saved him a ton of money, may to go, you are for sure a great neighbor. By the way, do you have pic that fillet board you made him? Just curious what kind of wood you made it from.

I just make them out of pine, using scrap pieces of wood from other projects.

OK, looks just like the one I use to for filleting walleye.

Yep, I had a eagle claw wood board that split and warped, I used it as a template to make mine.
