Sounds like you guys will make good use of the new place

This thing absolutely stinks and it's got a huge mouse nest in it. So I've got some work ahead of me to clean it up. But I started tonight.

it's sitting open in the sun right now, when we get home from Calgary on Sunday I'm going to get back at it...... I really liked your idea of the rug doctor, and my dad suggested throwing laundry soap into my pressure washer and giving it a good soak down that way too.......

Then I found "bilge cleaner" that you throw in the bottom of your boat and drive around for a weekend then flush out, which will REALLY help with getting rid of the stink I think.

my dad thinks it may actually have been squirrels, regardless, I'll get it all cleaned up.

Spent the evening with the shop vac and garden hose and got the mess cleaned up. Then took the boat to Hughes car wash and used the soap setting there on the entire interior and exterior then rinsed it. It's made a HUGE difference already. Took it to my parents to show it to them and dad and I have a game plan to fix the soft spots in the floor and replace the carpet. Should be looking great for next season!

This was my son last year. Can't remember if I put it up then or not. Sorry if I did and you didn't want to see it again. Lol

I can open it by clicking on the right 3 dots, but strange. What format is that.

Make sure there's nothing up left of the nest or animals up in the stringers under the floor. Usually there are drain holes between the bulkheads that allow flow directly back to the transom and into the bilge pump. If those drain holes get plugged with nest material, it will hold water in the bulkheads and rot them.

Update.... Got the boat on the water..... It's not running right. Hammer down and she won't make power. Throw it in neutral she runs right up to 5000 rpm but in gear it won't break 1500..... It's back up for sale on Facebook and Kijiji.

It's got new plugs and new power packs. Carbs are cleaned now. New fuel. New fuel filters. Don't know what it is. So gonna try to recoup some of the money I dumped on it and have purchased something newer that I've test driven from a buddy

Had a similar problem with our two stroke...it was a small tear in the diaphragm of the fuel pump.

Here's the Kijiji ad photos of the new to me boat. 1990 Vanguard Phantom with a Johnson 140.

 

[FernieHawk]

That will be a nice little ski boat…140 is perfect.
