They actually had wired the boat with plastic electrical boxes meant for household 110 volt.They ran 14/2 Romex cable and standard 110 outlets and had the down riggers and even the bilge pump plugged into the outlets.

They thru-bolted pieces of pvc to the gunnels for rod holders.There were over 100 holes in the rear transom cap,and another 50 -75 on the gunwhales.The core on the motor box was rotted,so their fix was to bolt a piece of plywood from an old sign to it, then glue on some vinyl.
I think they had stock in JB Weld because the engine(I/O) had a lot of it in several places like the risers and manifolds.

There were so many more minor atrocities,but I lost count.These people are not rarities.I see boats in this condition heading out of the docks every day.

Who's the comic that says "you can't fix stupid"? he seems to be correct on that issue.
I'd say you got me beat... by a long shot! Sorry, but LOL.
