Hello I am a cadet at The Citadel and I've been volunteering time with another forum member here and one of my classmates down at the Citadel Boating center, right now we're in the process of restoring the school's Hunter 22 which has been neglected for the last few years and we're in the process of putting some life back into the boat. Well when we got to it, there was about a foot of water inside the hull and understandably some of the woodwork on the inside was rotted out and needs replacing, but with the tools and supplies we have already here at the center that isn't a problem. What was ruined that we do not have readily available was the electrical switchboard and the cushions, or at least the covers to the cushions. First, about how much would it be to replace the cushion covers and a new switchboard roughly? We aren't looking for anything incredibly fancy or decorative for the seats and cushions and/or covers, more important to us is functionality and durablity for a lower price than anything really. Second, about how much water does it take to launch the hunter 22 from its trailer. At the house here the tides make the difference in when we launch and can't. At low tide you could walk the 200 yards from the dock to the ashely and not get your feet wet, so about how much water does it take to float the boat up and off the trailer? On a good day we can get up to a 6 foot tide but more common is the 5 to 5 1/2 foot tide around here. Finally on the back of the boat is a mount for a small outboard. Currently, we have several different outboards which we can use ranging from 6 to 15 HP, so the other question is about how much power is necessary or required to move a boat the size of the Hunter 22 and is an extended shaft on an outboard really necessary? Thanks for reading this far and any advice into this would be most appreciated.
