    Boat purchase during Northern winter

    Ok, that makes more sense. Knowing this, I would say go ahead. It sounds like you have a good plan. The only problem might be that now they know you're really interested, so it gives them some more leverage on price. Would you mind posting the year, make, model, and price? Some people on here...

    Boat purchase during Northern winter

    Hard pass in my opinion. They want you to buy the boat and won't even let you look at it first. It could pass the inspections, but there is a lot of stuff that you just can't see with the boat together. It could have rotten stringers, stringers seperated from the hull, stress cracks that could...

    1998 bay quest with 150 johnson ocean runner

    Most likely, but the rest looks pretty clean so I was thinking garage kept. Plus it looks splotchy and not uniform, so I wqs thinking water marks.

    I've been helping the neighbor quite a bit lately with his new computer, the same neighbor who help me put up the cabinets. I don't really like windows 11 from what little I've seen, aol is SUPER weird, and old file types are really tricky to figure out. Setting up the lifelock account (which...

    1998 bay quest with 150 johnson ocean runner

    I can't see any obvious damage, looks like it was taken care of fairly well. It looks like the backrest on the driver's seat will need new wood, and probably the seat too. The black is pretty dull, lots of hard water? The weird spottyness on the plastic windshield is normal. I'm mostly a body...

    That spot on the crownline is mostly bodyworked. I'm going to sand all the paint and start buffing to see how much we'll need to spray. Also, the old Tidecraft is getting put back together.

    All done, she just left with it a few minutes ago. I'm not happy with the blend, probably the different between ours and cadillac paint, but you can't see it in the sun. The door seal came in a day early, so that's done too. I even figured out how to save her seat settings for her, took like 2...

    All done for tonight. There isn't much I can do for the trim. We don't have any flat/satin paint, and I wouldn't know how to spray it anyway. So I touched it up with a bit of single stage. At least it's not bare metal. I was also thinking of hooking a charger up to the jump start points...

    Yeah, just bare speaker wire and like 2 wraps of not even electrical tape over the live amp wires. Just asking for an electrical fire.

    Never heard of this boat manufacturer. 2013 Cadillac ATS. Weird, don't know how it floats. Anyway, this is my coworker's car. She got locked out 2 weeks ago, and we did some damage trying to get in. I have a panel clip tool with a wedge end, which I hammered through the door seal (thought I...

    The tiny bit of bulkhead I can see is dry, but we're not getting into the inside. Forgot to mention, the new owner bought it this way and didn't know about it until the gel started chipping off.

    Here's what I was up to eight before Christmas vacation kicked in. On the other side of the shop, the supervisor and new kid have been working on a, uuuhhhh, Chaparral I think it was? Anyway,bit has one of those power step swim platforms, and the boss had me fix the damage on that yesterday...

    Sorry for the lack of updates, but there isn't much interesting happening right now. I'm almost finished with a big Sea Ray, but it's just routine body and paint work. Probably the most interesting thing is the '90 something Tidecraft the guy nex to me is doing a transom job on. We'll be...
