Needs for the new to me boat

i will have to get a measurement, but we are under 5"snow right now! far some reason i have 16 in my head from the build on the other v??
 
Gave a quick measure today cables look like 12 or 13 footers will be fine, 12 if just the casing, but 13 if you count the cable going into the motor
 
Update!
Joe your top is done.
I restitched every seam I could get to without total dismantling the top. Looks like original thread was giving up do to service life and there might have been a tension issue with the stitching. The top only needed a small patch.
Here's what we started with.


Here is the only spot that i could find need a patch.


Here is the stitches failing.


Patch in place.


Top finished!
 
You're very welcome Joe.
My turn to pay it forward. I have been helped many times by many members here on the board. I lurk a lot here on the board just reading and gathering info and ideas from other folks.
I forgot to tell you I reattached a forward windshield strap that was cut in two.




Greg,
The top wasn't in bad shape at all. The stitching was failing but the Sunbrella is in good shape.

Kamikaze,
We got tired of using the dining room table. We have to have full basements here so it we had room. I built my table up high so I work standing and not bent over. Makes things tough when working with and reaching patterns but it's better than a sore back. Most sail makers have their machines mount in the floor to work large projects. That would cripple me.
 
I've been slow to get much of anything done, but I got the prop and cables boxxed up tonight. Hope to drop it off next day or two to be on its way to you.
 
Prop and cables are on there way. They look rough, but thecables are still nice and smooth, and the prop always ran smooth and topped out about 5250-5300 on my 1.6l.
