Wow what a great forum! I'm a new member and new owner of a beautiful '84 Steplift. I've been searching for this boat for a long time and found it in South Carolina last weekend. On the way up to pick up the boat my wife sent me a text photo of 2 positive pregnancy test.....she still let me buy the boat, gotta love her! I'm a coastal GA native and have been running boats and fishing ever since I can remember. I don't have alot of repair knowledge but will be happy to give any fishing advice to those heading this way. Thanks in advance for the advice!

this is where I want to put a large inspection plate to access all the new wiring that needs to be done for new bilge pump, bait well pickup pump, second batt. and switch etc....lots of wires in the boat that need to be rerun or eliminated.

pics seem big, how do I post a little smaller/viewable?
 
Thats a good size!! 800 x 600 is the best for viewing.

Boat looks in good shape! Good Luck with her!! ask all the questions you want cause someone has done what ever you want to!! I will bet on it!
 
Hey FWB

where are you in coastal Ga? I'm in Savannah on Wilmington island. I have done some wiring (I'm not a professional), and everything worked when I hit the switch the first time.

I will recommend Deep blue Sea Systems hardware. That is Pos and Neg Busbars. Oh, I'll try to find ya the links to what I bought....

Duel circuit battery switch and ACR (I love this thing) paid $95 for the package

I hope this helps you out. I've done the research for you.
As far as the young'un, you're on yer own.....

I'm in Richmond Hill, but originally from St. Simons Island. I know the waters offshore and inshore very well down there but up here I'm a beginner. That makes it pretty fun though. Thanks for the links. I have lots of work to do. I want ot take care of the gas tank situation first so I can at least fish it in between projects.
 
I hear ya FWB - that blue is a cute little thing. Boat looks great. I'm curious to know the fuel economy (mpg) with that 200 rude.

I'm itching to find out the mpg as well. I keep catching perfect sized eels in my mud minnow traps at the dock. Cobia show up soon and hopefully I can get the fuel tank issue fixed by then. Blue does most of his fishing in the bath tub.
