Just got her today, straight from Virginia. Transport company unloaded at the marina and she was all mine. Didn't REALLY want a project boat, wanted something I could at least use while I cleaned it up a bit but that's not the case. Mechanic says motor is shot and not worth trying to get running. Oh well, I had budgeted for a new motor but was hoping I could at least run around in it for a little while before hand.
I'm sure I'm going to have a lot of questions along the way, I've read every single post on this site (I'm not kidding), and have learned a lot! However, I ALREADY am in need of help...
Where are the bilge pumps on the inboard Savage? I can't seem to find them anywhere, only the batteries are in the stern. There is a removable deck that runs from the center console to the stern (the majority of the floor), that looks like it covers up the two fuel tanks. I hope they are not under there!
Here are some pics...
Right off the trailer from Virginia, arrived Florida this morning.
Here it is after I removed all the junk including two buckets full of birds nest from the battery compartment in the stern. I also removed all the old cushions and bimini tops (2 of them). I'm planning for a T-Top so don't need the biminis.
The previous owner had already removed the bow pulpit. I have it but think I'm going to leave it off. Hatch needs to be replaced, will need to do that soon to stop the water intrusion into the cabin.
