    Bayliner color charts for Liberty 2150

    find two colors you like. doesnt matter what the gel was in 1977. there is no extra value in matching a color from 50 years ago. also, gel colors change minutely change from lot to lot as well as with UV exposure. you cant match gel sprayed 6 months ago, much less gel sprayed 50 years ago

    Bilge Pumps

    Sureflow or Rule are the two that I would recommend. for a cheep one, no less than an Attwood. you shouldnt need to put a cage around the pump. just keep the bilge clean.

    Glasspar Avalon Restoration

    before you do any work, you will need to get the boat in your name. since it has a serial number and not a HIN, you are dealing with a boat older than 1972

    Be easy on me please. Total newbie.

    being a 1990 searay that sat. I would seriously do some test drills on the transom and stringers prior to worrying about the motor. my guess is that the boat will need about $5k worth of hull restoration long before you have to worry about the motor.
