Default Introducing "Sweetass"

This is my buds boat (new to him) that we picked up Monday. Went get it down in Venice and made it all the way back to Rayne, LA on I-10 and blew a bearing. He is quickly learning what it is to own a boat! LMAO!

The interior and electronics of the 31' Contender are mint condition. However, this boat was purchased by a guide in Venice to use as a spill response boat and stayed in the water down in Venice during the BP thing. Once it was out, they used an acid to clean the hull and really trashed it. He got a great deal on it, so he is removing all the old pale blue curtains/top, gonna remove the old nasty blue anti-fouling paint bottom, and have the outside redone.

We are going to re-do the bottom in Razorback red, water sand the white and top cap, then polish, then install new red top canvas and red decals. The boat came with everything but tackle as the guide is going back to inshore only charters. The trailer is going in Friday morning to have 6 new tires, all bearings and seals replaced, brakes checked, and during the summer we will probably media blast and clear coat while the boat is being used. Came w/ 3 outriggers and 2 Cannon downriggers, 2 VHF, Sounder, GPS, and Radar, full curtain package w/ side sheilds, anchor and rope. It was purchased in SC w/ 304 hours on it, we picked it up w/ 633hrs. Also had a 3 ring binder from SC for all maintenance that was done on boat while owned by 3 elderly men. Can't wait to see it all shined up.
