Hello everyone, Well first off Intro I am new to this forum and I hope people on here are just as great as other forums I am proud to be apart of. Just on this one I?m sure to be a major noob lol. I finally have gotten a boat of my own; well will really be a joint effort with my brother. This is our first boat others in our family and friends have always had the boats and we?ve just got to enjoy them while were out.
So to business. I found this boat and got it for a steal. I believe it?s a 73 Chrysler 18' open bow inboard/outboard "sport fury", out of the lurking and research I have done this far. On the pink the yr is 0000 out and only says pleasure no model. The pink for the trailer says 73 so 2+2 right? So the info I have is it?s got a Volvo 170 straight six triple carb w/ Volvo 270 outboard. The guy said it runs but needs a water pump. Didn?t have any fuel lines on it so Idk yet. The glass has been worn thro on the deck and at the bow is very spongy so much so that with a lil force I was able to stick my finger through it. The rest feels pretty solid with the exception on the first piece back. So a new deck is in order I?m hoping that the stringers will be ok. So as I said this is my first boat have never done any real work to boats, but I?ve done lots of cars and trucks including restos.
So I?m looking for any help with verification on the model of this baby and help along the way in bringer her back to life or if she is of any value in the boating world. Sorry for the long winded post but I know the more info the better so now for pics?And keep in mind I bought her for 150 bucks!! With the trailer and these pics are after 2 days of cleaning All info comments ECT welcome Thank you much!!
