Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.
Macojoe,
I buy the season pass that lets us use the Sea View ramp and the ramp at Pease Park (Fairhaven/New Bedford harbor). Will probably be using the Sea View ramp with the Wellcraft. I have thought of putting it on a mooring north of the Popes Island where we keep the Rosborough but the original idea was to trailer the Wellcraft. Probably could get a slip next to our Rosborough for short money after the 4th of July for the reminder of the season.
Reelpeelin,
I want to refinish the wood work. Probably put a completely new steering unit w/cable. Get a antenna for the VHF. Install a Garmin 192c plotter (off the Whaler). Probably get as many of the gel coat chips repaired when the weather warms up. I'm missing the catch for the lower latch for the folding V berth doors. Also the latch for the little door that access battery compartment is broken/missing. Might looking into sealing the gape where the cap meets the bottom where the motor mounts (under the aluminum). The motor was rigged to run on a portable tank. Seems the carbs needing cleaning/adjusting and the mechanic that got the boat ready for sale didn't feel comfortable run the motor on the gas that was in the tank. So I will more then likely remove and clean/pump out the old gas out of the belly tank. No gas in the bilge so I believe the tank is in good shape but I might look into changing it out for a poly tank by Moeller. Moeller makes a 40 gallon tank that I believe will fit however I will losing capacity of course.
Whew....... that is quite of bit of work! I guess I should get outside and try to get some of the wood work in the basement so I can get started. Spring will be here soon with this list.
