Hi, new here and thought I would introduce myself. I live in central Oregon and just bought a 1976 Fiberform 16ft with a mercury 700 70hp outboard. Please meat “Ellen Escolar” !
It is pretty rough, but I wanted a fun project boat to work on over the winter and use as a lake boat for fishing next year.
This was an impulse buy at $700 and I pick it up today. It is my favorite color and made the year I was born, comes with a trailer. The guy that sold it called it “a 2 Visa card boat” which probably about right!
Although I am new to boats, I have been working the last 3 years restoring a 1985 F150 and a 1982 Bronco so I am happy to get into the weeds here. Both of which would look great pulling this boat to the lake.
So I am cruising the stickies, learning a lot already. I will search before I post “how do I start an old outboard” or ask “which widget is best”
that is all for now.
