Bought my first boat!(20' Seafari)

Finally had the money and the opportunity to make it happen.

She needs work but that's okay.



Yea... that's your standard builders carpet for houses... I ripped out some already(it was basically one big chunk of mold/fungus). Debating what I want to do now, thinking about cleaning it up and painting it. What do you guys think? Any suggestions on a solvent to get the glue up without messing anything up? I plan on pulling the rest of the carpet out this weekend.


The Deck is solid, except for one very small soft spot. It does have these cracks though. Is this normal?



And lastly, the chips in the hull and worn down bow...





Are these an issue? Can/Should I do anything to repair them?

This weekend(well, fri-tue) I plan on putting in a dual-bilge set up, a dual-battery set up( Dual Battery Set-up ), radio, antenna, nav lights and an anchor roller on the bow. Probably going to reinforce the bow similar to this:
Anchor Bracket

Lots of work but I'm looking forward to doing it. I did smash the hell out of my thumb today though... I'm hoping the nail doesn't fall off. That would make this all very unfun.
