I've got to learn to say no when it comes to water craft! Here's the new project. The future " Trailered Trash " or " Sea-Cup " It's a 1969 Sea Ray SRV160 with a 72 105 hp Chrysler I picked up for 50 bucks. Boat , motor and trailer! I've already had it running and man does it sound healthy! I repaired the power tilt and started on the wiring and seats but the weather hasn't cooperated with me at all! It will need a real good cleaning, which I've started already, another story altogether!, a new steering cable, internal fuel tank ( got a 20 gal one sitting at the shop ) and some paint on the trailer. That is really about it! This one won't break the bank. Yea, right. I'm not putting in carpet or anything. I'm gonna stick with the vinyl flooring that is already in it. This is gonna be the run it into the dock or up on the rocks boat. I don't want another boat where I freak out if someone drags the anchor chain across the paint and shit like that. The 59 for example. I hope to get the controls in it sometime this weekend. After paying rent and utilities for the house and the shop, I don't have two nickles to rub together to make a dime! Great weekend to do stuff that doesn't cost anything! Now that I think of it, I'll see what my friend Art ( Body and paint guy ) is doing this weekend. He owes me a favor or two and I've got plenty of paint left over from the 59 that would work just fine on the trailer. I'll keep ya up to date on the progress and try to post some more pictures.
