Looks great! Where in Maine do you boat? With the steel trailer, I assume a lake? We are thinking of camping up at Sebago.

Looks great, that is the exact same hull and color scheme of my boat. The 200 Horizon and 205 Sundowner had the same hull different top caps. Mine used to look like that except the red had oxidized so bad no amount of wet sanding or buffing would bring it back so I had it done in red Inrom last year.

Gelcoat got done last weekend. seats got roughed in, I will build some raised floors to get the height that I want.
Took the boat to the boat ramp just to make sure no leaks and found a small dribble under the engine...
But thanks to some research on here. I was not too worried for that age of boat. transom nuts were about 4 to 6 turns loose and exhaust bolts only about a half of one turn..Inlet cooling tube was good..
No more leak!
While I was in the back of the boat i found a grease fitting on the steering rack and found that my blower vent hose was ripped..easy fix.
Pulled the drive off and found that the u joints were in great shape! And are greasable. Shaft slid right out...
I already ordered all of the gaskets, bellows, bearing, and alignment tool.. When they come in Monday I will check the alignment and put it all together..
Engine runs great..We cant wait to get it out on the lake...

She goes very good. plenty of power. I cant wait til she breaks in and loosens up a bit.
