well I bought a boat last year for $900. just boat and trailer. well this spring i got a few good deals. got a 30hp outboard for $300 ( looked it up, still worth about 1300) and an electric 50 pound thrust trolling motor for $50. so $1250. had to do some repairs to the boat as well. transom needed replaced. still the original wood from 1978. it was rotted as could be. so i got some plywood and replaced it. well there was $40 bucks for the green treat kiln dried plywood. then around $150 for all the stainless hardware, nuts bolts washers. didn't help that i needed 80 nuts and bolts and 160 1 inch washers. then i got a quart of oil based paint which is hard as hell to track down. that was $35 for just a quart so right now I've spent about $1475 on my boat. and i still need to do the floor and console for my steering and throttle. the saying is true for a boat. bust out another thousand cause it's just a hole in the water you throw money into lol. I'm guessing about another $200 should get it done and on the water.
anyone else got any spring or summer projects this year?
