Riprunner:

I appreciate it very much. I am glad to say that, mechanically, the boat is sound. Asthetically, however, is another issue.

I will be repainting the whole boat (after repairing some spiderwebbing gelcoat), as well as replacing the T-top with a FG hard top. I have a NavNet to install and some rod holders and riggers to put in, but that is it.

Luckily, the only soft patches I have found are on small hatches.

I will post some before pictures for you to see.

I might go offshore tomorrow afternoon. I will report anything exciting.
