Recently, we were called on by Marty Krael of Childrens Harbor for help with reconditioning their pontoon boat. This is the boat they use to carry children who are in a wheel chair. The boat is a 28' Sanpan. It has NO furniture, (because more wheelchairs fit without it) a wheel chair ramp for loading, and anchor points to secure the chairs in there respective places. The boat needed all new decking, carpet and we will replace the engine and entire electrical system with one from another boat they provided us. We have completely stripped the boat, and are now putting it all back together. There will be many upgrades when we return the boat to Childrens Harbor, like new bow and stern lighting, recest anchors (instead of lag bolts sticking up from the floor, ouch) for securing chairs, an upgraded helm and drivers seat and much more. Although I have agreed to provide all reasonable parts and services to Childrens Harbor for this project at no charge, we are taking steps to make this special purpose boat better, more attractive and more user friendly than before. I guess you can say there is a good bit of pride going into it. I have listed below a few items either needed, or already purchased that are either an upgrade, or extra that needed to be done to have an extraordinary outcome. Please see the list below:
1. Marine grade Plywood 3/4" $260.04
2. Stainless recest anchors with retractable loops $38.76
3. Carpet upgrade to soft/woven upscale outdoor $190.27
4. Carpet Glue $26.73
5. Misc. stainless hardware/screws/bolts/nuts $46.19
6. New bow lighting (red/green 2 fixtures) $19.95 each (Bass Pro-shop, Prattville)
7. AM/FM stereo with 2 speakers $280.00 (parts only, CKR of Montgomery will provide labor for install)
8. Marine Battery Box $19.99
9. Marine battery $74.50 (The one in the boat works, but it looks very old)
10. Stern light LED $25.00
11. Captains chair for driver $129.00 (Bass Pro)
12. Depth/fish finder for kids day of fishing $100.00
13. Bimini tops $$ unknown. Used? ideas?
Should anyone like to donate the money for any one line item above, your generousity would be very much appreciated! We have been taking pictures and plan on doing a slide show of the rebuild. There will be many man hours in this project, and I will personally see that expectations will be exceeded. Should you want to participate, don't post your request to this thread. To make it easy- Please call the office at 334-358-2838. Dee Dee or I will take your CC# and pay the line item of your choice. There are only ten lines, so this should go quick. I will be in the office until 7pm tonight, and Dee Dee 9am-5pm tomarrow. Should you not want to help with an item above, and have something that you would like to add/donate to this project that is welcome also. I look foreward to talking to some tonight! God Bless you all. I will not post who does what unless requested by the member.
