New to me...my 86 Comp

[Syracuse Badger]

Just picked up last weekend. Little over 200 original hrs and clean! Interior is mint, and motor fires right up and purrrrrrrs. Need a few little things here and there, but what 20+ yr old anything doesn't? Trailer is a little rough but have plans to sandblast and repaint. I hope that we get a nice long warm fall, so that we can really enjoy her before snow flies! Then comes the time to tinker...new stereo, get rid of the yellow stripe in the interior, and hull, and start cleaning and dressing the motor, polishing the metal and installing a riser for the drivers seat...I sit too low and can't find a comfortable position without crouching. That sucks after 3 minutes! Lol! I have a little issue on the rear gunnel near the fuel filler. It looks like it smacked a dock and it has some spider cracks in the gel and the blue gel is faded. Maybe it's faded from poorly cleaning up spilled fuel or possibly someone tried to repair the cracks and after aging it's not matching the rest of the looking forward to giving her a full detail before storage. I welcome your comments and feedback! Glad I found friends!

Thanks for the welcome and the compliments! She's in pretty good shape, but definitely some things I need to address. I think I will be doing a new floor in the next year or two! Cleaning up some wiring and re-doing some things that one of the previous owners cut corners on...My trailer also needs attention...rotted bunk, dry rot on the tires, sticking trailer brake, and some rust spots but structure looks sound. What's the acronym for B.O.A.T??? LOL! I love being back on the water...that is for sure! I have been fond of the Comp since I was a kid...they really are sharp and timeless design. F-16 like!
