[QUOTE="sonicwonder2000, post: 366632, member: 15211"] Thanks for the feedback guys - I went and actually picked up the boat today. This thing is freaking huge ... I think I may have gotten a little bit more boat thank I can handle #-o . The guy who I bought it from said that the trailer bunks are pressure treated wood (which is no bueno, I know). Is there some way to tell pressure treated wood when it is carpeted over? The trailer wiring will need to be redone because it took out my dad's signal lights on the way home, and the boat cover (which was on when I trailered) ripped in the wind en route home. The previous owner said "it'll be fine, I do it all the time"; apparently, it is not a good idea - live and learn. I hope that things shape up after the inauspicuous start... I was thinking of renovating the decks and so forth, but I might have to sink several thousand into this boat to do so. In order to do things like acid wash the hull and so forth, do you have to flip the hull? I have taken more pics of what I think is corrosion .. how bad is this? [/QUOTE]
