Im removing the back to back seats in the rinker and replacing them with two of these. I will either reuse the boxes the current seats rest on or build my own, i wont know until they arrive.
I will use what's remaining to buy new oem mercuriser manifolds and risers.
With the current economy tanking/marinas closed i will not be able to sell my sailboat or shore line trailer for what i think they are worth any time soon. I found a bayliner 2859 3 hrs from me for 5k obro but i need a trailer. A trailer can be had for less than 5k but i need to move boats before I have room for another rehab project. I will not sell the rinker until my next bigger boat has not only splashed but all buggs worked out.
Im fortunate to have all vehicles/home paid for so i am going to do my part to stimulate the economy by spending.

The admiral is management for a grocery store so she's going to keep work. My boss keeps telling me we are on the essentials list but I've seen no paper work.
Our house is all hardwood and ceramic tile except the family room. We got a bid last year and it was about $2k. The room is about 23'x14'. We have a small entry way that is about 3'x5' with carpet but we had talked about tiling that so that is on the list too but not too high on that list.
So i figure, why not put my share to good use.
She went from 110 lbs to over 300 due to a brain tumor. She had one grow on her spine and some days she didn't have feeling from the waist down
She had married at 18, her husband ran off and left her with 2 kids in her late 20s, one of them autistic.
She was denied disability. She had to hire an attorney to get 400 a month.
The ex husbands new wife wanted to be the hero and got sole custody of the kids due to her quickly failing health.
She survived several brain surgeries, many back surgeries and years of rehab. She passed at 35 due to complications from her health issues. She rarely saw her kids the last few years, couldnt afford any independence, had to live with her mom and still couldnt afford all her own food and meds. She was legally blind due to an inoperable tumor. She was very depressed her last few years. She had to move in with her mom over an hour away from her kids. It was a sad situation.
I see people at my shop doing landscaping on the side or other manual labor yard work all under the table when they collect a disability check. They are plenty healthy enough to work.
And there was my friend with xrays and doctors statements stating her many serious health issues. It's a sickening thought. I wonder, if she wasn't given the assistance she deserved would she have had a better quality of living. If she had her kids to live for and not sufferd depression would she have lived longer?
