[QUOTE="rewinder, post: 196493, member: 5688"] Hi there, newby here, but been lurking a bit. I just picked up this 16' princecraft, on a nearly new trailer, and a old 74 9.9 Evvy. the motor may be beyond help, no spark, but decent compression I think ( will put a comp tester on it when i drag it home). I felt the boat/trailer was worth the price. Wanted something hi sided for the coastal bays in NH, for low money., as pictured, was $795.00 So the hull looks better than the pictures show, no dents, corrosion, and the floor paint is barely worn off But the ply seats are history, which leads me to ask is reg outdoor ply from Lowes ok for replacing the seat tops? Also the transom ply seems solid to a screwdriver punching on it, tho it needs a good scraping and sealing. Looks like replacing the transom would be not to bad a chore. If any of you referb types care to look over the pictures and suggest things to do to make her prettier and better, please reply. I've read a lot of post here thd there seems to be a lot of expertise in keeping these old girls on the water. thanks for looking paul [/QUOTE]
