Thank you Bushwacker! The more I dig into this forum the more I learn. I will replace the crazed and cracked clear windscreen with a tinted one, remove the beat up bow rails for now, give it a buff and wax, service the drive and engine, go over the electrical system, etc. I am a lifelong boater and really love seeing all the fantastic rebuilds and restorations. I also have a Chris Craft Commander 36 TF that I spent 3 years bringing back to life so a rebuild of this SC doesn't really scare me but it would be nice to just use and enjoy, get to know it, for a while anyway. I grew up working on Mercruiser I/O's so that helps too with this one. The lower fuel burn is a huge plus. I live in Ga and my daughter lives in St Pete so this boat will see action mainly on the GOM. Thanks again!
