Hello, just checking in with some of the restoration pictures of my 1990 1750 Carvelle Classic.
I would like to start out by thanking the members of this board, Thank You I've been using the search button a lot!! Now I would like give back to the board, so I'll be hanging a round for a while. d
This is my first boat, I purchased it from my brother-in- law, it was left out in the weather under a blue tarp for 3 years.:% He got new Rinker to play with.8)
Half of the floor and stringers were rotten, also had to replace all the seating wood, foam and vinyl, also 2 new bucket seats and carpet.
The motor (3.0L Merc) checked out for the most part, had to have the starter rebuilt, and basic tune-up stuff.
The out drive (Alpha One, #17 prop with hydro foil) just needed an impeller and fluid change, I did however remove it and grease the u-joints.
Great little boat, jumps out of the hole, the only thing I had trouble with was a hard start condition, that turned out to be a bad ignition switch.
Completely blew-out the budget for the resto, but we've had it out on the water all most every weekend this summer... were having a blast!!8)
Here's some of the restoration pictures.
