[QUOTE="Silver, post: 412412, member: 21038"] Bought my first boat from an old timer who's had it for 40 years for $275, seems like a decent deal but it needs work. Not sure exact model but it's a 12' aluminum Crestliner (from 60's-70's?). Where do I start is my question? It seems like a pretty blank slate, the transcom and bench wood needs replacing but any suggestions if I should paint it? Seems that what most do here, I definitely don't like the stains from the screws can I polish that out and just replace the screws? Hopefully I attached pics right.. Any help/ideas appreciated! Never owned a boat and looking forward to taking my boy out fishing soon! [/QUOTE]
