Hi all,
My mom has been nagging my dad to get rid of his boat for years. It is a 21 ft 1976 Cruisliner Raven. My dad has been wanting to fix up this boat for years. It has been sitting in our driveway for 10 years, and has not been covered, so basically it needs to be gutted and a new floor, put in. I love those "Pimp my ride" or "Rock my RV" shows, and was hoping that I could find some guys who work on boats, who could help me get this boat back in the water.
My dad said the engine is a really good one for this boat, except for the fact that the last time it ran,it got stuck in weeds in the Chain o Lakes, and burned out. So I am thinking there is some engine damage as well.
Are there any people out there who work on boats that want a winter project? Or, can you recommend a good shop in the McHenry or Kane County area that will be fair with pricing?
The outside of the boat is great, no issues at all.
Basically... need :
New floors, new seats, new kitchenette area (I may be able to make something custom for this myself) Motor worked on.
If there is anyone that could come give me an estimate of about how much something like this would cost, please let me know!
Thanks!
Karen
