If I do, I will take some picks of the process, but I'm probably not going to make it look new again.  I'm sure the gel coats trash and probably won't do anything the make it look good.  The boat is burgundy and white.  I probably have enough carpet to replace the carpet in it, but it's light blue, so it will get light blue carpet in a burgundy boat.  It currently has the 115 I6 Mercury tower of power on it. and don't know what condition the power head is in, my brother used it for several years, so I may have to come up with a motor.  I still have one of my 300+ hot rod V-6 loopers (I just need to put it back together) I could put on it, but the boat already sits so low in the back, I'm not sure how that extra 60 pounds will do back there.  300hp on a 1,100 pound 17' hull, that oughta get the job done.  I also have a 130 that needs a crankshaft, push come to shove.

I've got an electric boat with two 46 lb. trolling motors on it. I live on a lake and with two 100ah agm's I can troll for hours. They are coming near end of life. Not what they were when they were new. I'm going to spring for a Lithium battery unit that's self contained with a BMS, fused, meter, and Anderson connector. They've got the 170 ah and 202 ah versions. Haven't decided on which one yet. I'll also use it in my camper a few times a year. It's portable. About the Ah I've got now but with lithium I should be able to discharge them lower before they drop off. And the unit has a 10 yr warranty. I'd be replacing the batteries in my camper and boat a few times before these die.

Here's a link to their site. This is the 170ah unit.

Last night I watched a 2-minute 2017 youtube video out of Australia.
