Hey Guys! My buddy and I picked up this boat last week for a summer project and something to get us out on the water. It's got a '74 Mercury 50Hp Thunderbolt that runs ok. We took it out last weekend and had some issues so we're troubleshooting now and plan on another wet run this weekend. The Boat is in great shape and needs very little wood work (as far as I can tell). The hull has some gouges that I'd like to fix but that's for later. Anyway, for work on it, we've taken out the seats and are rebuilding/reupholstering them. We've taken the side panels off and are covering them with a marine carpet. We're going to paint the side pockets black today and lay carpet. We're pretty new to this and would love to hear any ideas or input that anyone has. Happy Boating!
