DIY recommendations
Just got a ‘02 seafarer 4.75m with a 60hp mercury on the back. Absolutely love it, taken it out every weekend since buying it. I’m looking to do some upgrades to improve it, but since it’s my first boat, I don’t have any idea what makes life easier, would love some recommendations that made your boating days easier so you can focus on what matters. I realise this is a money pit but I’ve loved working on it so far fixing the gel coat and want some more DIY projects.
Ideas I have are
- replace VHF radio, (cords damaged and fraying, or might just be able to buy new handpiece)
- install a cheap head unit and speakers
-fix nav lighting incase I get stuck out at night
-was going to swap the carpet for some of that seadek foam flooring but I reckon it’s fine for now
-need to get more chain for the anchor to be able to park it out the back at Stradbroke to surf
-couple more beer holders
-usb phone charger
Any other ideas or recommendations that made you enjoy your time out on the water more?
