When I went to church tonight a friend of mine mentioned that another guy there has an old bass boat that he needed to get rid of. I asked him about it and he said that it's a 1985 Venture bass boat with a 115 Mariner on it. He said that it was a really good boat the but problem with it is that critters got up in it over the winter and ate the wiring up. He said he'd be willing to give it to somebody that was interested in a project boat. I raised my hand and said, "I may be your man!"
My question is, does anybody have any idea what I might be getting myself into if I take it? I'm wondering about access to all the areas that the wiring runs through so I can run new wire. Has anybody here had or heard of Venture bass boats? The company that made them is no longer in business and the guy that designed the hull is dead. I'm going to go look at it tomorrow. Here's a picture of a 1985 Venture with a 150 Mariner on it that I found online but I don't know if it's that model or not. I've been out to their house before and had seen it sitting in the carport but all I remember is that it is red.
