[QUOTE="richg99, post: 424026, member: 4376"] [b][i][u] the boat is in great condition and it looks to have had the paint removed from the exterior and part of the interior of the boat. Is there any reason why I should pain the boat in the spring or enjoy it for a bit?[/u][/i][/b] IMHO I'd just go fishing. Paint is not a necessity unless you are talking about unfinished wood. My (used) 1648 Lowe was ordered with no paint, (just decals) and ran that way for over 20 years. [b][i][u]- What is the best way to work on the trailer (going to replace all hardware, sand, repaint, and redo the bearings)? Remove the boat (was thinking about sliding it off in the spring or is it light enough for a couple people to help lift and flip on to a stand?[/u][/i][/b] I just looked up the weight of a14 ft New Lowe. They say it weighs 275 lbs. [b][i][u] - Transom looks to be great and was thinking about just resealing?[/u][/i][/b] If it is in good shape, then just reseal it. [b][i][u]-looking to add a bimi to it so I can take my kid out on it (she is 2) and help reduce the sun exposure (do they look good and work with boats this size?)[/u][/i][/b] Never had a Bimini, so no help here. richg99 [/QUOTE]
