Hi all
I found a 1973 19' with blue interior in good condition except it is missing the hard top the seats are in good shape. the eng. is a 4cyl and runs great. the guy i got it from was moveing from mich. to tenn. had it up for sale but with the economy here in mich (swirling the drain) it had not sold. i bought it a day or 2 before he moved for a song and a dance. I would love to keep it they are such beautiful crafts but it's much to big for the little lakes around my house does anyone know if there is a forum for tradeing boats? (just a thought) i have put many new parts into this boat battery,prop,hydrolic hoses,tuneup. I tried to upload pictures but i must be doing something wrong

Yea we have 15 lakes with in 5 to 10 min. of each other but some of them boats with gas motors are not allowed and some have size restrictions so i am looking for a 16' bowrider like a starcraft or close to it. trying to get to erie yea it would be easer to get to the moon we here in michigan only have 2 seasons winter and road construction. Have a great weekend
