Hello everyone, just wanted to say how excited i was to see this forum. just purchased my first boat ( old, ugly, beat-up, 22ft 1980 Maurell with a 1980 100hp chrysler) and without a clue where to start. i was amazed at how much i learned just from browsing around this forum and cant wait to get the old girl back in shape and on the water! I can tell there are years and years of some serious boat knowledge floating around here so i will be asking a lot of questions, hopefully without being too much of a pain! Any help will be greatly appreciated and i plan on paying it forward as i progress through trial and error, seems to be what its all about here. Very cool
