I dont have a pic YET,... because when I went to pulled the tarp off I was attacked by yellow jackets,.. nailed me (3) times before I could run clear.
What I know so far;
Its a closed bow fiberglass hull with windshield (short nose)
its 21ft I/O mercruiser
The donor has told me that its a 1979' with a fresh 283 chev small block mercruiser, but I dont recall mercruiser ever using 283's, Outdrive and gimbal look to be in decent shape as does the hull, boat was properly stored with cover and bow elevated,... transom seams solid, trailer is good...pics to follow in (2) days. My guess is that the aluminum hull SC's are much more desirable,...is that true?
I dont know if Ill restore this one or break it down to parts,.. I have a pretty decent collection of Alpha 1 parts going on and all these parts can be saved for my 280 Sundancer w/twin 5.0 alpha's or my 230 Weekender 5.7.
So,... anyone want to take a guess at what is hidden under bee riddled tarp ?
