Well I have finally did the unspeakable bought a boat project. I have bought car projects hot tub projects so why not a boat all are fun things to own right. Well here is a few things about it 1984 17 ft cheetah runabout, cost $500.00, Has a solid deck and from what i can see in the ski storage are solid, the jell coat a few nicks, motor needs exhaust baffles changed, Motor starts and runs, new carpet, new control cable, and the worst that i can see is the upholstery defiantly needs replacing. I also broke the cardinal rule of buying a boat didn't give it a water test. We will see if that comes back to haunt me but i figured 500.00 the trailer was worth 200 and the out-drive may get my 500 back if it didn't work out. I am waiting on it to be delivered Saturday morning spend the day with her and getting to know her.
Will post some pics as i get things together and i am sure i will have lots of question and will thank you all for any help you give me.
Here is to a great adventure and sailing off into the sunset or at least motoring off into the sunset
hello to all
