I just bought this rig over the weekend. I paid $650 for it. The Ranger boat is 15' long and the paperwork says it's a 1975 model. The only information I can find on the Web shows it to be a Model 150. It has a 1975 Mercury 850 with tilt/trim and it starts and runs good. The trailer is a Holtsclaw and needs some work. The boat appears to be in good condition except for holes on the bow that need filling. The floor is sturdy with just a little soft spot near the center. The carpet had been removed and the wiring is a mess. It has a new bilge pump, new electric inline fuel pump, new tach and a new battery. The 36lb Power Drive Minn Kota works too. My question is what is the best way to fill in the unused bolt holes in the bow. I thinking the clay type marine epoxy will work. Also, what is the cheapest product to use to restore the dull blue finish to a glossy look.
