Re: new life in a run down boat
man did you call it lol broke down on the 2nd trip and found out just how handy a towing membership would have been at that time Lil $300 to tow me back to the dock ouch...got sea-tow now lol...
took the boat out after some repairs and she ran good all day went threw 10gal of fuel to make dam sure she will be sea Worthy for the fall striper run...
took the time today to rebuild the fuel pump and man am i glad i did she was just about shot. found all kinds of crap and gaskets gone bad so for the few $$$$ i rebuilt it real fast now my fuel filter stays 3/4 full and it pumps much stronger now....
Well now you've jinxed the next trip for sureGlad her maiden voyage was a success. That's the best part about doing stuff yourself, you know it was done right. Congrats!
