[QUOTE="Islander78, post: 472764, member: 24501"] Hello All, I recived a 16' 89' bluefin from a friend for renovating the front of his garage that was compleately rotted, in payment as barter i got his dads boat, seemed like a good trade. When i recived it last winter, it had no cover on it, last stickered for 16' and 2 flat tires on the galvanised trailor. And a 50hp mercury oil injected that was informed they had emptied the lower unit upon storage, And there was a problem with the hydrolic lift. My last post here was 2yrs ago, i got my dads 1964' 18' Starcraft, i replaced the floor in it in 2007, and when i got it 2 yrs ago, it was in rough shape. I rewired it, removed all the house carpet in it, painted the floor and got her in working condition, last fall, i let a friend drive it, he pushed the trottle foward and tilted the motor up at the same time, before i knew it the prop was outta the water! I jumped up to stop him, but it was too late, the center cylinder exploded. I limped it back home n trailered it. Dad took the boat back, $1800 later the motors fixed and tuned up. Still owe dad some $ :oops: With the experiance i gained on my dads boat, i figure the remod on this Bluefin shouldnt be all that bad..oh boy, what i get myself in to.. [/QUOTE]
