[QUOTE="Blake., post: 375885, member: 15296"] Trailer would probably be the best to start on as other other guys mentioned. I didn't with mine bc I can put the boat in the back of my truck and get where I'm going. But with your situation, here's how I look at it: 1. What good is a boat if you can't get it to the water? So start with the trailer. 2. What's it matter if the boat looks pretty or has bad *** cup holders if you can't go anywhere once you've made it to the water? You said it doesn't leak. so before worrying about the layout and decking and consoles and seats and other junk, check/repair the transom. then I'd start on making sure the "go stuff" (motor/electrical/steering/allthatjazz) wouldn't leave me paddling or waving my arms around like a moron tryin to catch attention for a tow. I feel like that would allow me to get the boat on the water faster, be able to use it without fear of a breakdown, so i could find what i really want out of the boat. Then I'd start on the things like decks and extra storage and whathaveyou. That's just what I think. May not be the best procedure for some but its logical in my head. [/QUOTE]
