Hello everyone, my name is AriI'm new here and this is my first post.I just purchased a 2755 '90 bayliner with a 454 / 7.4L mercruiser which is also my very first boat.I'm happy with the 'looks' of the boat but so far I have not been able to run it as it's still on bricks at the local marina, winterized by the mechanics and need them to come out and de-winterize everything since doing it myself avoids the 'warranty' if they find a crack in the block.On Monday I got the full canvas all fixed/stitched up and ready to put on.This Saturday I plan on removing the shrink-wrap, sand/paint the bottom and start fixing the 'little bits'.____________________________________________ A few things that I MUST get done and have questions on,The prop is a piece of junk and can't read any numbers of it. Removed it and took it to the local shop and the guy argued with me that the prop I had is for a bravo 2. I'm no expert but I thought this boat with 454 had a bravo one and was told the same thing from the previous owner.-to clarify Is it a bravo one or bravo two? (I'm such a noob)-Anyone with the 454 on this boat, what prop are you running? What would you guys suggest if I go with an alum prop?- Bilge pump located in under/front of motor - was told doesn't work as someone hit the switches on the dash on accident and let the bilge run for a whole day. I also don't think it has a floating switch but will double check once the full canvas is up this weekend- it's too dark with the shrink wrap on.What bilge size should I go for to replace this one? Is there another bilge pump in this boat? If so where are they? I can't put the boat in the water if I don't get at least the motor bilge pump replaced.-The bow rail was removed and was wondering if the normal white silicone is good enough to cover the holes for the time being until i find a bow rail or if there are any type of covers.Also, it appears the previous owner had done some work to the interior of the boat. He put new wood on the bathroom door and throughout. Also made a table with the same kind of wood and saved the old one (as seen in the picture). This boat doesn't have the stove or fridge. Was told the boat came with a cooler(which was optional) and the stove was removed during the interior upgrade and was never put back on since it was never being used and avoid fire. Maybe was just a lie but that is not a concern to me as long as everything else runs and drives fine.Any other things I should look out for is appreciated.Thanks, Ari
