Hello VIP Boat Owners
I picked up this 1979 Vintage VIP Boat last weekend. it was owned by the second owner for 23 Years. I dropped the lower foot on the 80 Horsepower Mercury and placed a new water pump Impellor as it's water pressure was weak. I found Four of the water Pump veins broke off and down in the port under the water pump housing. The Marina Mechanic felt the engine had less than 50 Hours on it and it's the Original engine that came on the boat when it was new. I was wondering what Model this boat is ? I have seen some call them a Bowrider would that be correct for this vessel ? Thanks in advance for any responses. Regards, General Stuart
