[QUOTE="Pleasantvalley, post: 455710, member: 23957"] Hello tin boat folks!! New guy here, with my first boat. I scored a 1974 Starcraft Mariner yesterday with a Johnson seahorse 25 on the back. The boat has seen better days, was badly re-floored, had the benches cut out, Bad transom replacement, and is in general need of some TLC. The good news is it’s mine! Other good news is the engine, though very sloppily painted, runs well enough to really tune in. Started out today by drinking a cup of coffee in the new boat, contemplating what I was gonna do with it. I removed 3 crappy bass boat chairs, the original steering console and cables, and pulled up the carpet to see what is happening underneath. It’s not the worst, but it’s got to go. The floor is in there with about 300 rivers, so I have a lot of drilling to do. Anyway, I’m a novice with boats of this kind. I’m sure I’ll have questions along the way, and I hope I can find some answers here in exchange for some cool pics! I’ll start with how it was this morning and how it is now. Look forward to getting this thing going!! [/QUOTE]
