well, i've officially joined the crestliner family, my first one actually. i've owned some trackers and starcraft boats in the past. just bought a new-to-me crestliner eagle 2450 about a month ago. i haven't been able to put it in the water yet, had shoulder surgery and have had to do some work to the boat. some of it is just customizing it, making it my own. other work has been rewiring. she's had only 2 previous owners, but all of the accessory wiring in the boat was hack work. cheap connectors, screw-on caps, poor soldering jobs, incorrect installations, and lots of electrical tape. multiple fire hazards! it has all been ripped out and replaced with correct wiring and installation. it cost me a pretty penny, an unexpected pretty penny, but it is now all correct and most importantly, safe. she'll be rigged to troll for salmon and trout on lake winnipesaukee in nh.
a little boat info.. she's a 2000 model, hardtop, walkaround cuddy, 5.0 mercruiser, 25 hp merc 4 stroke kicker, all new electronics (lowrance gen 3 hds 9, gen 2 hds 8 (networked together, with structurescan), fish hawk x4, raymarine autopilot, horizon vhf, pyle stereo, onboard charger, 2 new deka group 24 agm batteries, new battery selector switch). the rewiring job is pretty much finished, now i just need to put everything back together. a challenging task with 1 arm, but i take my time. some things i can't do, but i manage to find a hand when needed. let me see if i can attach some pics. some of these are from the previous owner.
