88 Ranger 375V resto.

[pauliesaprano]

I have had this boat for 2 years now. When I got it it had under 300 hours on it. It may be at 300 or so now. But the clear coat is starting to fade in some spots. Also it has the a seat along each side. I want to take them out and make a complete casting deck. Also refinish instrument bezel and glove box. I'm more of a car guy than a boat guy but I want to do the work myself. Can anyone tell me of a good book/manual on "how to" do projects like this? Thanks for the time!

That looks great! I'm not getting that "into" the restro but then again I don't need to . Boat is in great shape. I just want to do cosmetic work. Is there a book you used to do this?

This is my second year owning my 88' 363v,, I couldn't of kept it running and looking so good without this site. My advice would be searching the archives in the Ranger forum. Theres plenty of guys that have been there done that. Hope this helps.

I just read here on BBC on how to do all of my work. Pretty amazing place.

Okay... so your pictures are on Shutterfly.Photobucket,etc
1. View a picture in shutterfly (look at it on your screen)
2. Right-click on the picture itself. At the very bottom you will see the "Properties" selection... choose it.

3. On the properties tab that pops up, you will see something that says "address" or "URL". Next to it will be a bunch of gibberish that looks something like this: http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/4...08IcNmjdsxbc]h

THAT IS A URL!!

4. Highlight that long string of characters with your mouse (starting with http://). It will turn blue when you do.

5. Right click and select "copy"

6. Come to your thread you want to add your picture to and click the "mountains with sun" button above the text window. It looks like this:

7. It will pop a set of IMG brackets in your text box that look like this [img][/img]

8. Position your cursor inbetween the brackets, right click and select "paste".

Your image should appear!
