: $28 - MinnKota tiller extension handle from Wally World
: $4 - New NGK B6HS-10 spark plug
: $4.99 - Master lock for transom mount
: $2.99 - 2 gallon fuel can (the Yam 3 top fills at all the wrong times)
: $32 - Two new Yamaha OEM transom mount screws with new handles
: $14 - Aluminum/plastic oars
: $6 - Brass cool looking oarlocks
: $3 - Drain plug replacements for boat (not stock but installed by
: someone)

: This project, as you can see, is getting more expensive all the
: time......just like any good boat project.....

: But, it'll be worth it all to blast by the blowup dollies and their
