Hello CSR members,
Originally from Massachusetts, recent transplant to TX after a two year stay in CO (had enough of Colorado people needed to leave..)
Purchased a "project" boat, with my father-in-law, my first boat, his 6th. 1983 SRV 207 Monaco. From the paperwork I can locate with it. Former owner hadn't a clue, and it sat for a while.
Needs an outdrive seal, and had water forced into crankcase oil from outdrive water kit when he tried to run it on land I was told (motor turns OK, haven't run it yet but it looks like a newer replacement engine) Needs replacement of the wooden stringers under the floor (SR says this is do-able with a little knowledge and is not structurally threatening, and does not require a boatwright to replace them, just some mechanical skill and glass work). Other than that it's all there, needs cleaning, and TLC, came with trailer for $500.
Maybe it's not worth it. I can do all the mechanical, and have a someone to do the wood stringers, but not the glass work after I pull the floor and consoles. Should I just clean it and pass it along for the $500 I paid?
Can I get something better for short $$$?
Glad to be aboard.
LOL....
Thanks,
Bob
