Just do a search on boat polishing. There's been a ton of threads on it recently.

A little update for everyone!

I got the boat home and started her up.
The Johnson 70 started rite up first crank!!!

I checked everything like the battery connection and all the electrical wiring.

My lights didn't work, my bilge pump and my fish finder that it came with didn't work so I rewired everything.

So I got to work on it and now everything is wired and in working condition!

I bought a Bimini top from CL and installed it.
I also didn't like the faded ugly brown color so I got the paint gun out and sprayed it black to give a more modern look!

I was also thinking about spraying the inside with bed-liner. I was wondering if anyone has done something like this and have some pictures to share. That would be great!

I'll keep everyone updates.
Well here's some pictures.

Very true my friend!

Thanks for the welcome

I will be reupholstering the interior and I should be ready to go!

I've taken the boat out a few times just for a few hours just to get "THE FIX"
for my addition to fishing and the water!

I didn't catch anything besides a Leopard Shark.

I'll post up more pics as I go along and keep you all updated.

So I've taken her out a few times when I first got her and had no problems.
I've put the boat away to work on it.
I've been really busy with the project and here are a few more pics that I've taken on the progress.
Enjoy!

She's far from done but that's how far I've gone.
