Welcome aboard from sunny Florida. Was 35 this morning and warmed to a sunny 70. Deeelightful weather.
Howdy "Gettaway" and "Foofer b" Thanks for the welcome. Yep, I guess I'm being hard on "Basket Case" because I know how this boat would look and run if I had owned her all these years. I despise people who buy quality machinery and they run it into the ground (sea bed?) and don't put one cent back into it. Anyway. I took this on intentionally to try to bring her back. I can see that over her life previous owners have put quality time and materials into her so I just have to get through the neglect of the last 3 years. Will keep everyone posted on my progress.
