Hello all! Here is a picture of the boat that I picked up for $free.99 from a family member. She needs a little work.
1989 Lund Baron 2100 Stbd Side
I got her back from the shop yesterday. They rebuilt the carbs, replaced a thermostat, replaced a couple of lines, and did a general once over on the motor.

$700.00 later and we are at a starting point. Unfortunately, the forum will only allow me to show you 5 pictures per post. So, I guess I will be picky and just show you these three:
Interior Looking Back From The Bow
Bow Section looking through the SWEET consoles
The Oil Box
As you can see, I have my work cut out for me. I originally thought that I may be able to salvage some of the work that had been done; however, I am fairly certain that the plywood that was installed is pressure treated. So, I began pulling that today. The "consoles" were torn out and I pulled almost all of the screws holding the decking. You can't really tell from the pictures, but the bow storage (on the stbd side, the port is the livewell) was wrapped in foam and then had spray in foam put around it. So, I will need to work on breaking that free before I can pull the bow section.
Anyway, my plan is to order some 5/8" Marine Grade plywood. I know some feel that you don't need to use marine grade, but I figure it is worth the extra for peace of mind. I have already ordered Nautolex Storm Grey vinyl flooring. It arrived early this week. I ordered enough that pretty much all wood that will go into the boat will be covered with it. I will also be installing some (either aluminum or stainless) angle on many of the edges and joints that will be visible. I think this will give everything a nice finished look.
Anyway, thanks for looking. More pictures to come as I progress. I hope that the weather cooperates over the next month, so that I can get the boat out on the water sooner; rather than later!
