Hello, everyone -

My name is Melissa, and my fiance and I have just purchased our first boat. The screen name is Bannshee, a leftover from my online gaming days. I've decided that real reality is better than virtual reality.

We literally just bought this boat last weekend; it's a project boat that we got an amazing deal on. We're picking it up this weekend from the previous owner, and I'll post the make/model/hp at that point. We think it's an 1987 Seville, but I may be mistaken. The owner supposedly has all of that information.

The boat really just needs to have the interior redone, as far as we can tell. My fiance is in construction and also has a background as a mechanic, so I'm hoping we can accomplish most of the reconstruction work ourselves. We'll need to have the interior reupholstered professionally though.

I can't wait to get it into shape. I am SO excited about having a boat finally.

Cheers,

Bannshee

Welcome to CSR!!! It is nice to have another NC member on the board. You will want to put your boat information in your signature (year, model, motor, etc) and we also have a virtual marina where you can post pictures of your boat.

Again welcome to CSR!!! :thumbsup:

Welcome to the board. A project boat is always brings a little excitement to the board. It's great to see a neglected boat restored to life and used. Best of luck putting it back in operating condition. :grin:

Thanks for the warm welcome, all - it's appreciated.

We got the boat picked up on Saturday, after buying two new trailer tires. Cap'n Chris (my fiance) immediately delved into inspecting the engine and poking around the interior. We've determined she needs a serious infusion of cash, so there goes the bank account...ah well, it'll be worth it in the end.

Cheers,

Bannshee
