Awesome looking hull. I'm sure parts will be a nightmare but I trust samo's been around here long enough to be prepared for that. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Samo,

That is too cool. What a great resto project that boat would make. Really nice. Congratulations!!

Excellent. I haven't done much yet. The tilt does not work so I had it apart, that's about it. My local OMC dealer had the gasket and the seal for the tilt in stock so I was pretty happy about that! Mine is supposed to be running but I have not tried it yet. What's your condition? Got any pics? and welcome to the forum :)

Just logging-in to Iboats today (8/15/11) Any interest in SELLING your boat or do you know of another that might be FOR SALE? Thanks - DAN in Southern Illinois

Great find Samo!!

I've run across those a couple of times, but didn't think I was quite up to the challenge of getting one going. They're such neat looking boats - I really want to see one go out on the water. Do they handle like a tri-hull?

If I ever take the dive, it'll probably have to be an OB. I've had enough of working on Stringers for a while :D
