Good Afternoon Everyone.
Picked up a nice little family boat for $1700 from a really cool older gentleman whom owned it for the last 35 years pulling his 4 kids around on the Ohio River. We are going to attempt the same with our 5 kids if possible. He stored it in his barn the whole time so its really solid. Not a soft spot anywhere and it runs real good up to about 36 mph so I figured it was a good purchase.
I have only had to take care of a couple things with the shifter and lights but if you have a similar boat and have questions please let me know and I will be more than happy to assist. He also gave me an original shop book that is larger then any bible I have ever seen. So if you need any info from it let me know and I will do my best to help.
As with any vintage machine they all need or will need something. Here is a list of 2017s Summer need to dos for the Offshore.
Automatic Bilge Pump
Solar Tickler Charger
Blower for horn
Install Radio
Fix Transom Leak fill tank
Install Ski Pole
Look into fixing front dent
Install Swim Deck
Find Snap Cover
Maybe in 2018 we will update the interior but in the time being its all solid and looks good on the water so no need to make a mess where there currently isn't one
Here are a couple photos from last year. Maybe this summer we can get some kids up on a wake board and catch some fish worth making stories up about
Have a great day
