Dove into restoring my boat over the last couple months and damn...what a project.just kept going with it when i thought i`d had enough.My motor took a crap back in sept & could`nt really afford another so i descided to start ripping out carpet and in jan i found a 96' 70hp evinrude that i picked up with a boat & a 2009 sealion trailer(that`s for sale!!).Anyhow,i took everything out eccept the flooring which is in great shape.From there i scraped and scraped even removing all hoses that i`ll replace(gas,bilge & livewell to include the thru hull fittings).Figured i got this far might as well do it all right.Once i get the console put together ,the motor on with the controls it`s off to pugsleys marine for a paint job(motor)and finish install and tuneup,then back so i can finish assembly.Descided to go with vinyl floor(sand) which i`ll have snapin carpet for those chilly nov/dec days on the river,indigo on the upper portion(rails),metallic grey on sides and gastank access,grey on the casting decks as well as the console(trying to get a new one from starcraft).New seats and a second job to pay for it.lol
Here are a couple photos starting with one before the restoration...
