Re: Anyone else have one ?

I have a 1971 sidewinder with a 125 hp Johnson ESL. This one was built in Palo Alto. I just bought a 1972 Sidewinder with a 1972 125 hp Evinrude ESL for $250.00. It has the windshield and has the higher sides. It came with no interior and the owner previous to the guy I got it from, stupidly painted over the original brown and bronze metal flake. He wanted to turn it into a Bass Boat so he added sand or something to the paint. It looks like he used flat house paint. the idiot didn't even realize that most bass boats have metal flake paint. The new sidewinder was made in Anderson California. Where was yours manufactured? I paid $800.00 for my 71 and used it for 2 1/2 summers. I need to do some repairs on the electric shift, but hope to have it back on the lake soon. When the green one broke I bought a 198? Apache for $300.00 and used it for 1 summer. Then I blew a piston on the 135 hp Evinrude. I will be learning to rebuild it this winter. I'll take some pics and post them later.
