    New owner - used boat

    Hey What kind of motor? Got any pictures. I would least check fluids, make sure the lower unit is clear and not milky from water. Same thing with the wheel bearings. If you redo them then you know there good. Same with the rest of the fluids.

    Trailer rebuild

    I'd check them out real good... It sucks being beside the road because of a failed wheel bearing. I've seen where the bearing burns up, seizes it's self to hub. So you have to try and cut it off or get anew hub..... Get new bearings anyway ....new seals, pack the new bearings with...

    Seats or No Seats?

    Just put seats in mine... The kind that clamp with the wing nuts and swivel. Being able to lean back while running the boat helps my back after being out there all day.

    2 or 4 bunks?

    I did three laid flat, for support. I travel with most of my gear in the boat. The center one turned out to be a great walking plank for getting boat past guide post.

    Cooking on your boat?

    My Dad had a small barbecue grill that clamped on the side, and it would pivot out over the water and swing back inside to turn the food etc... Then just swing it back out. It was real small too.
