    Gambler Project Boat

    Just picked up a 1992 gambler 183-gs for $2700. Needs a little work. Motor was just rebuilt about 8 months ago. Boat was hit by a drunk guy on a motorcycle.

    That's got some potential. New carpet will make it look like a million dollars.

    Re: Gambler Project Boat (Heavy D)

    Today i pulled out all the deck leds, pulled out the seat, pulled the cable steering out, installed the hydraulic steering ram and lines, and installed trolling motor bracket. Only had a few hours to work on it. Will have pics in the morning.

    Re: Gambler Project Boat (rwalker221)

    Finally finished getting all the carpet out of the boat and off the leds. I did find some rotten wood under the hot foot and bench seat. Looks like i'm going to have to do some glass work this weekend.
