Looks to be in good shape

Enjoy and welcome aboard

If this is your first I/O and your in an area that it gets cold you will need to winterize at some point.

Welcome to iBoats.

Looks like a nice boat and something that the family will enjoy. Lots of info here to help you along the way.

What does it have for an engine/outdrive, etc?

Great looking boat but with 4 kids it will not take long to catch 2'itis - Or possibly 4'itis.

Welcome aboard. Is this your first boat, or just a new to you, boat? I gotta agree, it is a nice looking boat, but with 4 youngins I am seeing a larger boat in your future! LOL!

It looks like a real nice boat from what I can see in the 2 pics.

What do the bilge and ski locker areas look like?

Yes this is out first boat, has always been garage kept. The keel looks amazing, no discoloration, some scratches.

Ok, it is an inboard; 3.0l previous owner estimates 300 hrs. I have rebuild lots of engines; looking inside this one looks new. Inside bilge and center holding looks clean!

When we was looking at it and test drive, only after we picked it up realizing it matched the color of our truck!

It does have points being an 87, I have received the conversion from Michiganmotorz. Looking forward on converting distributor. I have done this GM v8's and makes life easier, startup better!

I will be posting more pics....

Thanks for all info...

Welcome to iboats!:cool:

It looks like you followed one of the first rules when purchasing a new boat: Condition is the most import thing. The boat looks terrific!!
