Thx all, as far as you helping me spend all my money I’m already under contract for that. You all have stiff competition in that area. Keep the ideas coming though!

Switch out all hav lights and interior lights to led. Get some marine dek going. Add a swim platform.
Your going to need a new trailer that will actually keep your boat on the ground level.

Seems the polishing might be coming along but if you need something like this it does a good job.
YT was dead on...ss cupholders will look muy better with your interior color. LEDs also a good change suggested.
Might I mention fender clips for when you want to start drilling holes in your boat. They are very handy if you dock often.
A favorite and fun add is underwater lights while you’re drilling (safety first...if you night boat it’s a real safety feature).

I just bought the same polisher. I haven't used it yet.

One of the first things I picked up after getting “the dark one.”

Welcome from St. Louis. Not sure how I missed this one. But that is crazy how low the hours are on that boat. I put more than that on a boat in a season. Good luck on getting it all cleaned up!

He spent a lot of money on this boat to use it as little as he did. There’s very little wrong with the boat. It just needs some attention and love. I’ve never owned a boat before but have been on many. It should be fun when I get it in the water. I am working on transferring the title to Ohio and getting it registered in my name currently. That has proven not to be simple since it’s associated with an estate. I hope to hit the water within a couple weeks.
