It has been a while since purchase. The boat has been cleaned, buffed, started and re-winterized with plenty of parts bought to bring it back from the brink...resting on its new, but used, really nice Shoreland'r trailer which has been adjusted to the form of the hull after parting out the junk Sunrunner boat, less adding slim rollers to protect the thru the hull water intake grate during loading...no longer uses the outdrive pick-up. PVC storage covers has it bone dry inside. Have not had any time, but have no problem keeping it right here waiting for me to do some more work. Just bought two 1x 10x 10 foot lengths of very close matched grain mahogany to make new bait well hatch covers...had to buy 10 footers, they will not cut these rare boards at Builders Surplus...that is ok, the grain is very cool...they have some light grain mahogany that appears much like teak, may opt to use it for all the doors in the gun wales...1x 12x is $6.95 per foot, and they have never had such wide planked mahogany on hand...drop more money, on my somewhat idle project...gathering up the needed lumber and vinyl for my plans...stay posted....
