For those that live in the Hampton Roads area, have you made the trip from here to the OBX, how was it? I have a 25' Sundancer and was wondering if its a decent size to make the trip down. TIA!

Both, above and below the waterline. Its a restore project. The current ones are PVC/plastic and mostly dry rotted.

For those that replaced your thru hull fittings, did you use the stainless steel fittings?

For those that do their own electrical, when it comes to wire connecting, what method do you use: - crimp butt connectors - self solder heat shrink butt connectors - soldering the wires then add heat shrink - electrical tape

What part of Virginia?

Thanks all. I was able to have a marine electrician look at it today. He said the power is running through the gauges. He gave me a few options on how to hook it up.

Cool story! Mine isnt as cool. I was scrolling through FB Marketplace just looking at boats in my area. Mind you, I had zero intentions on buying a boat this year. I told myself I was going to wait until Spring 2023. Anyways, this Marina owner had an ad up for 10 -15 boats that he was selling...
