[QUOTE="milli, post: 411747, member: 20997"] I have about 4 weeks before a annual fishing/camping trip that I do every year comes up. For the past 3 years we have always been stuck going to the same place due to having a boat rental as an option. Now that I own another boat we get to go where we want when we want. I plan to have it mostly ready to go. I plan to rewire the trailer, replace the bearings and tires, clean the carb, replace the water pump and spark plugs, put in all new seats, and a few other things as they come up. After the trip I plan to rip out all the flooring and start over. I haven't decided yet as to what kind of plywood I am going to go with. Exterior or marine grade? (any help on this would be greatly appreciated) I plan to keep the layout original. Edit: I did purchase a used carb off of EBay. I took mine apart and it was bad. I figured out why it only idles and when given throttle dies. The second butterfly (I believe the Choke) was frozen in place with gunk/corrosion. I soaked it in carb cleaning for a few hours and started working it back and forth and it now moves freely and the spring brings it back to position. However just as a precaution I wanted to get another one. You can see from the pics that it is in rough shape. [/QUOTE]
