After buying my 1987 Percision 23 on March 27th, my first job was getting the the 5hp honda outboard running so I could move it from the sales dock to my slip. My good friend Malcolm and I took off the carb and cleaned it on a towel on the dock. The motor fired right up and I moved it to my dock. Over the course of the following week I cleaned the boat inside and out. I replaced the old broken running lites with new ones and replaced the bulbs with LED's I also replaced the cabin lites with LED's from superbrightleds.com not cheap but well worth it. I had to replace the wiring to the stern running lite and will also have to replace the wiring to the anchor lite. I am having my jib patched and have taken off the tiller off to varnish. looking forward to a night on the hook.
