For that price you can do the complete interior and still be way way ahead of the game !

Nice Score!!

Better make the carport longer though LOL LOL

    Yea, it needs a cover. Once we clean it up a bit and get a cover we will move it. We don't have access to the backyard so the front is getting full.

    So we still need a cover. We have been using a Pontoon boat cover our friends gave us but we need a nicer, better fitting one.

    We are looking at one of THESE from Sportsmans. Can anyone say if they have used one or have a better suggestion for something in the same price range?

    Thanks in advance.

    That is a good price on the boat! Even though it needs some TLC it will be new and updated after you get it all fixed up! When going to do your upholstery get a couple bids and also make sure they are using marine vinyl. I just had some work done by a local shop. He did a great job. Now his is doing the tattered seats in my pickup!
    As for the cover I'd be interested in knowing how it works for you. I need one for a boat as well. Some covers are up there in price and that seems to be reasonable.

    We have those types of covers over here in the UK,
    They are good for about 2 seasons before they start to fall apart due to UV degradation
    (And that’s in the UK where we don’t get any sun…..ever ).
    I use one as a sacrificial cover over my main cover to protect it.

    Deluxe 600D Waterproof Trailer Boat Cover Up to 17-19ft V-hull 95'' Beam CBT19 | eBay
    This is the one i've got, but like i say it's just to keep the main cover clean.

    So we had a beautiful weekend here in Tucson. We got out and cleaned up the boat a bit. The interior looks incredible considering where it started.

    Some Maguiars and elbow grease....




    The engine cover is destroyed. As we were puting it back down the bolts on all three hinges came out of the wood. This has to be recovered anyway because the fabric was ruined. Guess new wood, foam and fabric is in order.

    Look out for some Government agency as you STOLE this boat! I got my vinyl from a place in Florida... can't remember the exact name of it (search my posts). Almost exact match for my Original Fabric. You are very Lucky in this deal. Maria's Rock!

    Thanks, I keep hearing that. My friends dad actually owns a boat shop here in town and he said the same thing. I took the boat to him to check everything out for me since I got the wiring sorted on the trailer.

    Still need some tires on the trailer and to fix the engine cover before we head up to the lake this summer.
