I love this boat. I got it a couple months ago. Great Salmon fishing in Lake Michigan, and does a fine job pulling kids on the tube.
To date I have:
Washed and waxed repeatedly
Replaced the sending unit
Changed the spark plugs
Changed the fuel filter
Changed the oil
Removed some nasty rust stains from poorly placed metal lights
Changed the lower unit lube
Replaced the drain plug fitting
Replaced the bilge pump
Replaced and rewired the speakers
Repaired three small hull chips
Repaired both down riggers (one shown)
Replaced two trailer rollers
Replaced trailer strap
Replace Bearing Buddy covers
Total into boat to date (minus initial investment) $278 give or take a few $$.
Still to do:
Replace RPM gauge light in dash
Replace wash down pump
Replace seal in rear inspection bay
Re-seal all the black bumper
I would not have needed to do any of this to use the boat, I seem to love working on it and making it as near to new as possible. The costs are climbing but still way less than new.
