welcome to the site, are you going to trailer or dry stack? if you are not planing on keeping it in the water, i'd see about removing like kracker suggested. once removed, your done with it. if you paint , it will have to be done again at some point. and don't count that old merc out , lot of them still around
your living in a great spot to take advantage of that boat year round.

Hi Chrissy, Welcome to the insanity. If you're going to trailer it Soda Blast the bottom, and as long as the fibreglass underneath has no blisters I'd just wax it and leave it like that. If you're going to leave it in the water then yes, you need to repaint it. Good looking boat, and like Phatdaddy said, don't count that Merc out. I have a 1991 200 Merc almost identical to yours and it pushes my boat like there's no tomorrow. If it ain't broke, don't mess with it. Just give it tender loving care and it will last a good long time.

Thanks for the replies! I will be keeping it high and dry...it has been there for years and it seems to have done this boat good. Plus the marina is only about 7 min from my house, also convenient! I took a closer look at the boat and it seems as though someone may have tried to take the paint off in the past, so I think I will proceed and just remove it all. Anyone have any advice on what kind of tach to buy? I need a new one; mine is not working. I am reading that with my motor, I need a 6 pole..?? thanks!!!
