What's your winter " to do" list for the V ?

[grey]

Hi to everyone here. Im a new member but long time browser



I couldn't find many photos of the boat, but here's one of it on a lake in Ontario.
what Ive done so far:
-stripped the old layered flaky bottom paint, sealed it and re-coated with some nice ablative non flaky paint
-refinished the interior, floor, woodwork, etc
-2 battery system
-new wiring, bus bar, modern fuses
-gauges because it never had any
-seastar steering
-Raycor water separator, new fuel lines
-built hatches for the cuddy, installed marine toilet under these (for the ladies)


-bimini top
-radio, speakers, glovebox in console, knobs, screws, paint, grease, etc

This is an ongoing project. I might pick around at it over the summer but I mostly reserve a weekend or two in the spring to get the big improvements done.

This year:
I found a 1997 Evinrude 200 for short $. The guy it came from upgraded to a Yamaha 4 stroke and didnt know what to do with it. $500.00 later and its mine! So this spring I'm taking of the 1990 140 Evinrude and making the switch. I dont expect any efficiency improvements but it should add a lot to the overall performance
