We Built a DIY Boat for the Florida Mini Loop Adventure! Part 1

After putting in over 2,000 hours of work and remodeling on Good Times 2.0, it was finally time to put her to the test. I set out on the Florida Mini Loop — a 500-mile shakedown cruise that turned into quite the adventure. This trip definitely uncovered a few unexpected issues, from taking on water in rough seas to a brand new alternator failing and more surprises along the way. Come aboard and see how it all unfolded

The following are items I purchased for this 1988 Bayliner 2450 Siera Project boat. These items will work on any similar year Mercruiser, OMC, Volvo Penta.
