....and so it begins...

Helm, gauges, all wiring and batteries will be finished removing tomorrow.
Then a good solid degreasing and power washing.
May pull out seat boxes as well and insulate the inside compartments.
Refinish the helm and bulkhead are also on the list.
Thinking about repainting, but that might be more work than I want to go through right now.

Well.....all cables and wiring....gone, except for the running lights, Powerwinch cable and transducer cables coiled up on the dash.
Engine compartment degreased and power washed...2wice. what a PITA getting the spaces cleaned on either side of the stringers.
The negative battery cable was partly coiled up in the battery compartment. I cut the zip ties and uncoiled it to find a section with electrical tape on it.
I pulled the tape off and found it burned. Why the previous owner used a 12ft ground cable to reach 5ft I'll never know.

PS........If anyone happens to be in the neighborhood, can ya swing by and smack me upside the head.
WTF was I thinking ripping all this crap out...

64 is too old to be doin this chit.... ?

Anybody want to buy a project boat ??

You’ll enjoy it when it’s done lol.

The guy who bought my old boat probably scratched his head much like you are. I used Romex wire to hardwire the VHF to the battery.

Slow and steady..... ?
Little by little.....?
One step at a time.....

I'm as impressed with that wood ladder/platform that you must have built as I am by the boat repairs!!
