So when selling, should I replace cooler & padded seat or leave as is? Plastic corner chocks are brittle and need replaced at a minimum. Looks like there may have been a larger cooler at some point based on old screws closing those wider footprint chocks. What's the correct size cooler if I replaced,? 2) Whats the best source for getting the value for selling & best place to list?

I would go with the 94qt, especially if you have the rod back cushions. You can price the boat without the upgrades/repairs or make the boat truly turnkey for a higher price. The original setup was wooden cooler cleats with bungies and the Igloo Marine cooler with cooler hooks. The matching OEM replacement cooler cushion is only available from Anderson's in Florida and they have a 3 month backlog of orders. As of today, West Marine has the decent price on the cooler as of 7/26/21. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/igloo-...ed1d94f459 Bob L fabricates the cooler cleats. See parts index. https://www.whalercentral.com/viewpag...page_id=69 Listing the boat here and Facebook Marketplace will get you a decent sale. Warning, the market is a bit hot so be ready to get a flood of calls as soon as it posts. Market slows in the fall. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

Either way, I believe I'll have a set or 2 of extra screw holes & screws to deal with from where the current & previous corner restraints were installed.

You have a recommendation for covering crazing without going the hardcore refinishing route? I will post a few pics the next day or so (depending on rain) to better show the couple areas of concern I have. Thanks

I installed Dri-Dek on the entire floor rather that deal with all the effort to keep pristine. I removed it 2x a season to wash floor. I liked it so much I did it again on my 1991 Outrage 17 and plan to do it to my current boat, a 1992. www.dri-dek.com Ordering online is cheaper than retail.
