Determining Whether or not to Rebuild 1990 17' Larson

[KJM]

@todhunter Thanks for the support! Understanding your timeline helps me keep my expectations realistic.
I'll have a better idea once I open it up and start digging in. Unfortunately, we have the next 2 weekends booked, and a handful of weekends throughout the summer.
I think the first step will be buying an engine lift. Once I have the outdrive off, I just might be able to fit the boat in the garage. That will be a huge help to keep the boat out of the elements, and also having light to work at night.

I bought a chain lift, whats known around here as an "endless chain". Its good for 2000 lbs. I put a iron pipe in the attic of my garage across 3 or 4 trusses and lifted my motor easily. It was less then 100 dollars.
