It seems that I have forgotten to update my blog lately, thanks dad for pointing that out! 🙂 Actually we have been very busy, but lately our new family boat has been what is taking up our time. We bought a 1990 Mariah 1850XL from Rawhide Boys Ranch and have been working to get it all fixed up and ready for boat season, which we hope will start in about 6 weeks.
The boat is a 18.5′ bowrider for fishing and skiing, with a 175 HP Mercruiser 4.3 liter V-6. As far as we know right now, the work we have to do is mostly cosmetic. We are replacing all the vinyl, and converting the standard back-to-back seating to the much more contemporary sundeck with bench seating style. It’s a little hard to explain, but I will post some pictures here as we make more progress.
Here is some of the work we did last weekend.
