I have been very luck in the past with good running motors and solid boats so i never really had to do much to the few boats i have owned. Recently I have jumped into boats with both feet (mainly for my kids as a family adventure) and have come into things I had strong reluctance to tackle. Im am mechanical so that definitely helps, but between the guys on this forum (THANKS GUYS) and the fact there is a video of EVERYTHING on youtube..... I have been able to tackle and handle everything so far. Restoring a 1968 boat most would have thrown away, a new floor in a boat, water pump change, tune up, trailer bunk system and wheel bearings...and the list goes on and on

SO.... when you have somethingB 8~1~12 (10).jpg to tackle, do your research....ask ALL the questions and gather as MUCH information as you can....and with the right tools and ability, "you can do it" :)

Thanks again to all who have given me advice.
