Frank, The windshield melted. A can of varsol did a slow burn. Little flame but lots of heat.
The boat has a 360 mercruiser divetrain. The engine has a fresh rebuild.
The boat needs cleaning, rewiring and new hydraulic lines. There is some glass work that needs to be done. The helm area's gelcoat and fiberglass completely fried. I have another Chaparral from a salvage yard that we are going to ravage for trim parts.

I am holding off on buying another boat until my finances free up more disposable income. This Chaparral will keep me busy. The donzi 16 is still in the garage.
