Re: Any Ebbtide Dyna-Trak Owners
Hey all. I just bout a 1983 Ebbtide 176SS (no motor) yesterday. I went down to buy a cheap motor for another boat I just picked up from the guy selling this. I ended up getting a 50hp Force (88), the boat and the trailmaster trailer for 400.00. Included a few other little goodies (motor stand, gas, and a ton of work). Bought it for the trailer (our newest boat needed a nice trailer), but when I got there and actually saw the boat. I is a very endearing design and now I'm planning on running it and selling my 19' 1980 Searay instead

.
I did notice that someone had a ladder attached to the port side, was that an after market add on, or should I have had one (I don't). If it's after market, do you remember where you picked it up at?
Also, the previous owner was going to replace the main floor so now that job is mine. It is currently ripped out and I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to do the job. I'd like to be as authentic as possible. Is there a manual out there with specifics about dimensions, wood used, inserting it all properly, the locations of seats so they can be reset in proper positions?
These are the pictures posted on craigslist by the seller. They really don't do it justice. It is darn nice looking. Was always kept under tarp or in garage/workshop.
