    New first time boat owner with a few questions

    So I have been wanting a boat for awhile and finally found one. I wanted one with no interior so I can make it the way I wanted it. So I picked up this 1986 thunder craft for $75 with trailer. I figured it was a good gamble and if all else failed I could sell the trailer to get my money back...
