Back on the Water!

Well I will be once I prep the boat. Back in 2012 I sold my 21' 2001 Sea Pro W/A to help pay for family medical bills and being laid off for the 3rd time in 3 years. I've been itching to get back on the water again. With the pandemic going on the prices of recreational boats has sky rocketed putting me out of the market. Used boats of the size and style I wanted were going as high as $30k 20 years and older! Just by chance I clicked on the Facebook Market place and there it was sitting in New Hampshire. A similar boat I had before a 2000 Key West W/A for a price I could afford. It has a trailer that's in good shape and the boat needs a good cleaning, new batteries and replacement of some cushions. Also the bimini top has a tear in it. I need to relocate the VHF radio from the cabin to the dash. The engine is a Honda 130 hp 4 stroke which means quiet operation, I'll be able to hear the seagulls!
