Got all new safety gear, anchor line, fenders, head unit, custom italicized BAD BISHOP decal for the stern that matches the font and black on white color of the Checkmate decal on the side of the boat, Powerwashed whole boat in, out, and bilge, washed cabin velour, got new foam to replace all the moldy garbage that was in there (damn foam is expensive!!!!) sea foamed the oil, gas, and carbureator.
Looks 10x better, and it hasn't even been buffed yet, that's happening monday.

Thanks for the compliments guys!
It died waiting for the light to change at Diversey, and then we couldn't get it restarted... Tied her off of D dock and got to work diagnosing the problem. Duncker and Dostal were there on their stand up jetskis, one of which was havin issues so they helped out. My buddy Tim stopped at West Marine for me and picked me up a cap and rotor set, but they didn't have the distributor sensor. Still weak or no spark...
So, long story short, we had her tied to the dock from 2pm to 6pm, and then my buddy Bobby cranked it again and it fired right up, so Matt, Andy and I hopped on and took her out. Banged through 3's and 4's like a f.cking champ, and I was expecting it to ride like garbage in that kind of water. Duncker was laughing uncontrollably, yelling 'SHE'S A LITTLE SKIPPER!!! SHE'S A LITTLE SKIPPER!!!' We were skipping across the top of the swells no problem. Ran it around for about 20 mins and then threw her back on the trailer and left.
I'm glad we got to run it a little though, so the day wasn't a complete failure.
