Just got back from a boat ride..............
A few weeks ago I bought a nice old Crestliner 12 Foot Commander/ Speedster decked bow. The thing empty weighs about 150 lbs. It came with new wood bench seats and dash, no steering, no remote controls, and no motor. I didn't pay very much. This is before I brought it home
Then last Friday I ran across a '77 Johnson 35 hp and a 62-ish 18 hp. I thought the 18 would be an "easy fix" Turns out the opposite. Got the 35 running, it needed a starter solenoid and some tinkering, and this weekend got the steering strung and the remote control temporarily mounted, and a bucket seat (I need back support) temp mounted
So I just got back from a ride on Fernan Lake. Everything went fairly well after I got the engine trim adjusted, and moved EVERYTHING I could move "up front." I need to figure a way to get the fuel tank under the bow
