Yes, we are doing the same. I feel like we're in a marine time capsule.
It also gives you a sense of awe at how much tech has changed since your 1984 and our 1987 boats were launched. The previous owner left everything, and kept every screw or piece of rope. We thank them for the numerous spares, including the impeller we needed when we first hit the water. But cursed them for the case of ginger ale that was hidden ( over the winter) in the bilge's recesses. Luckily it was diet so when the cans froze and ruptured they didn't leave behind any stickiness.
After two weeks of sorting and tossing we now have a clean slate....ready for our own junk!
