I have a 1993 180 bowrider I just bought and plan to do a few minor repairs to get it back into shape.

I need to replace the center opening in floor at back seats and replace some wood on the rear seats and seat supports. Then rewire trailer to get lights working because wiring is all rotted and cracked and missing insulation.

Heck I only paid $113.50 at auction for it so I'm not going to complain LOL

Cool boat, thanks for sharing, that will be fun.

My 2 cents, make sure all the required safety stuff is 100% of requirements or more and not looking down nose, but a towing service contract is an essential item, even on a well maintained boat w/ a long history because the towing charges w/o a contract are staggering.

For plywood and wood replacement make sure to follow industry standards for water protection. As an example, the factory built my seat cushions (on my 2000 380DA) on a plywood that is encapsulated in epoxy and at last inspection several years ago shows no sign of degradation.
