sweeet.....
i think yer the first that i've met that has a 75 too. cool. yer also the first i've met with the darker green color... i like it... very nice.
she looks to be in pretty good shape overall from yer pics. got yerself a steal i'd think if she runs like a champ too. i sure paid more than that for what i got. been getting my money out of it ever since too.
you can search by name here on iboats using the advanced search function. if ya wanna see some of the things i've done to mine, search me starting about end sept. 06 i believe. i've posted up many of the repairs i've had to do. only highlight i'd make on your old engine, is watch or check out, or replace the manifold and riser if it hasn't been done yet. mine hadn't and went within the first months or less of use. it showed signs on the outside it was unhappy too so i knew it was coming.
i can't tell from your pics if ya got a roller trailer or not, but if ya do, i've got a suggestion about launching. i can see a piece of perpendicular metal right where the sides of the trailer meet at the ft. just like mine has. this piece of metal has caused me some grief. if i launch to deep. my bow gets low enough (as the back begins to float) to contact that piece of metal with my fiberglass. it's chewed me up a little in that area of my bow. the cure is easy. don't launch to deep. i put my fenders half submerged and then i'm ok.
as for your windshield. i believe yer gonna have luck..

i think a whole windshield is available from the oem. have a talk with them too. they're real nice and may have much info for you. +
some parts. ya might see if they have your upholstery too. they got some colors. maybe yours, but not mine.
i think in one of my threads aristocraft stated to me that the upholstery is the most important thing you can preserve about your nineteen.

What I was thinking is Black seats with Grey trim, grey carpet (

hopefully aristocraft can help ya with your upholstery. if not, i'd be carefull about using black on anything inside the boat. black gets very hot. my best example is on a hot 90+ degree day. my almost white boat is most tolerable to touch or walk on. my lime green interior is certainly hotter. you can sit on it w/o getting scorched. but it's hot. the lime green carpet i have is similar albeit a shade cooler as it's a lighter color than the seats. i also have a dark green throw mat inside my boat. it resides right in ft. of the dog house. that mat gets hot. like step on it and you'll be moving in short order. it'll burn the bottom of your feet. so be careful with them dark colors is my point. it gets real hot...
i don't know about your air horn. mine came with an ugly elec. horn on the bow. it's gone. got me another one that looks much cooler that is now mounted up by the windshield where i think it looks much better. i will say that my second horn didn't work when i retrieved it from my 72 trisonic in the backyard. it was serviceable. took it all apart cleaned it up and it works good now. perhaps your air horn is serviceable too?
sure looks like ya got a winner there 75aristocraft. your gonna have a lot of fun with it i'm sure. these nineteens are most versital. and yer gonna love it when it rains and everyone else is heading it real fast. you'll be able to stay out, out of the rain and enjoy the whole lake to yourself. least thats been my experience...
congrats on your new boat.... got any more pics? i love pics of nineteens, my computers got thousands of mine in it i think......
