fix my boat

I bought a Blue Jay last summer, and had little time to work on it and get it on the water. In fact, it was bought site unseen. It wasn’t until I had it on the water the first time that I realized how much needed to be done…

I think I might just sell it. Another summer has gone by with it just parked in the yard.

Right now there are more important things going on in my life. Just when I finally am able to get a boat, I need to let it go.

Posting it up on craigslist right now. Maybe I’ll try again later in life.

I just got an older runabout off craigslist and it needs some work. The thing needs to be cleaned, sanded down, and repainted. I also need to get a motor and re cable everything.

My boat has been sitting quietly and well-behaved on its trailer for almost 2 years. This spring I want to finish fixing it up!

Yeah, my engine has water in the pistons from bad fuel, which came with the boat when I got it. I am so bummed. So I got a manual and a friend who’s handy, and we’re going to give it a try. Wish me luck.
