Hello, new to forum

[Bullrider]

Hello, I have been around boats most of my life. I just bought my first one for myself. It is a 1995 Sterling cuddy cabin
19' with a 3.0 merc Alpha1. I took it out for a run and did a compression test. I got 155 on three cylinders and 163 on one. That seems ok to me. I replaced the lower impellor and feel better now knowing it`s new. This boat looks very solid and clean.
I joined this forum to access some good experience and creative tips.
Again, Hello! And Cheers!
Jason

Welcome aboard Bullrider.

I'm guessing you live some distance south of winter.

Welcome, Jason. Compression numbers look good. Lots of good information here on the iBoats forums.

Re: Hello, new to forum

Thank you all for the kind greeting.
I live in the Pacific Northwest. My wife has been urging me to get back into fishing and scuba diving. These are passions of hers. For what we do in the water around here this little cuddy will be perfect.We live around an abundant option of places to boat.
Right now I am looking through every inch of the boat to service,polish,repair,modify,and of course drink beer.
Cheers
