For those that don't know, that's break out another $ 1,000 !

The truly beautiful 96' Wellcraft V21 that I bought here in NJ:
1. Trailer..........sinking some cash into upgrading, ensuring road worthy
a. new bearings
b. re wire complete
c. move lights to poles with LED lights on top so no longer submerging in the water.
d. new actuator
e. check brakes, new fenders, and other " stuff"

2. Outboard motor
Complete tune up, new water pump, check everything

3. New back to back seating to replace the worn out original framing made from plywood

4. Total cleaning/detailing and setting up for fishing.
* 20 years of detailing my boat has yielded my " best ever" process.
Two steps exterior, very easy. One step interior.

wish that was all I had to do on my boat
