Well, I took the plunge and purchased a 1975 Fabuglas tri-hull and trailer. Could not beat the price, $100. I can sell the trailer for that if need be and put the hull in the backyard for the grandkids.
It needs the deck/transom replaced, seats, and lots of tlc. the engine appears in good shape and the out-drive is already off and in the process of being resealed. That will be the easy part.
I will be asking lots of questions many of them probably dumb.
There is a piece over the transom that comes off all on its own (where the vents are) and it will be the mini-test bed to remove the glass and rotted wood. If that project comes out ok, I will tackle the rest. Time and money....never enough of either.
Here is a early stage planning question. The fuel tank is located above the deck, under the drivers back-to back seat. Can that be placed under the decking (provided there is room for one)? There are fill caps on both sides so I was thinking about two smaller tanks with a cross-over feed line.
Thanks for the forum and I know there will be plenty of great answers to my many questions. I will get some pictures up as soon as I have that one figured out.
