@@dtylerpaul Thanks for your answer. I will look for a welder to build a custom t-Top.

Young’s boats are great… shipping might be a little steep to Spain lol

I have a 1993 2120 Robalo as well. I am interested in refurbishing it. I'd love to pick your brain. The first question is did you have to replace the fuel tank?

Awesome! Pick away! love my Robalo and am so happy I brought it back to life. I was worried about the same thing when I started considering refurbishing it. I had to swap some fuel lines a few years back before the refurb due to a leak, but never had to replace the tank. No issues so far with that approach for me.

@tightlineshightides4599 sorry for not getting back sooner. Wife had surgery and i put this on the back burner. Shes doing well now though. I have 100 gallons on board still after 8 years of sitting. I'm assuming the tank is fine. I tried pulling the fuel line out with a string attached to it. Fuel line came out easy but the string pulled off. How did you get yours thru? I still have the original 290 hp 2 stroke on it which ran perfect when i left it behind in our move. I'm struggling with replacement, rebuild, or new.

Hey do you happen to know where I can get that leaning post with the storage? I’d like to get that same one for my boat.

I had it custom made by Young’s Boats near Tampa FL

Can we get an estimated cost or cost breakdown of the updates? I think that be a good, informative video for people trying to do this.

I will say, this was not a cheap endeavor.All in for the refurbishment and repower is close to $50K. Some will say it wasn't worth the cost and that I could have purchased a newer (still used) boat for the cost of the refurbishment. However, there is a lot of sentimental value in this boat which was a big driver for me to refurb vs buy. Plus, I love the idea of an older model boat... really stands out in the water. I am putting together a complimentary article on my blog that will provide some more details on cost and timeline. As soon as that is published I will drop a link here. Thanks for the view and question.
