[QUOTE="bigcity, post: 501606, member: 12916"] Biggest question is how much is the purchase price of the boat ??? I was given a 1982 SeaNymph "fishing machine" with a 40hp merc. about 15yrs ago. I think it had sat outside, uncovered since about 1985! LOL Anyway, I completely gutted it and started over. New 2part foam thru out, marine ply(2coats spar) flooring and casting decks. New carpet and seats. I had the console powder coated and made a new mahogany dash panel. Of course I serviced the motor myself. I probably have less that $1K TOTAL in that boat. My kids and I have been fishing it ever since. My only regret is not replacing the transom when I had it apart. My 21yr old son and I are starting that project tomorrow. My point is, you said that you're handy. None if this is hard, a little unfamiliar to you maybe, but not undoable. Just take your time and research as you go, BEFORE you do. This place is an almost endless source of good info. Jeff [/QUOTE]
