First I would like to interduce myself, my name is Chris and I'm from Medina, Ohio. O.K. I picked this boat up on the forth and have been working non stop to get it ready for the water. So far I clear coated it, replaced the wood on the hatchs and recarpeted it, replaced the seats and some wiring. I am having a hard time finding any info at all about this model.
I took it out for the first time yesturday and all went well for the most part. The front livewell did not fill and the rear one over filled, so I gotta check the hoses and see whats blocked. The outboard is a 1980 80 hp mercury and it seems to move out pretty good. Here's a couple pictures of the progress so far. If you know anything about this boat please let me know as I can't even find another one on the web.
Great site here with alot of good info, Thanks

Sweet Ride, I would check your livewells for check valves, sounds like on is malfunctioning.
