First photos

Introducing.... UGLY BETTY...our 1984 Sunray Cabin Cruiser.
These photos are VERY kind to the old gal, as you can't actually see the faded and worn vinyl, the chipped and splintered paint or all its other little oddities. Here's a view of the cabin underneath. However, since there's no air conditioning on the boat, we can't spend too much time in the sultry "den." Here's where the kids can sleep. Check out all those cupholders!
There is a little working kitchen, complete with a sink, two burners and a tiny fridge. But currently, the water is not connected...so I guess I won't be able to wash the dishes!
I'm not sure how much food will be served here anyhow, since we couldn't fix the broken table. All we have where we'd normally be serving food is space. There is a toilet on board, but I haven't figured out how to work it yet. It has something to do with adding water to it and having to pump it or something before you can flush it. Now this should be interesting. I THINK the bathroom functions as a shower as well. But I do believe I'll just drive the 6 miles to my own hot shower to wash up. Our outside seating is very limited. You can't physically sit on this couch, or you'll find your bum flat on the floor!

It's actually been kinda fun getting it all "cleaned up." The boat was so bad, the people who were servicing it to get it running again actually asked my husband if the boat had been submerged!

How dare they talk about my Ugly Betty like that! Surely they're just jealous!
