Hey guys I am new to the forum and will be working on a 1965 Jupiter V that is really one owner! Yes thats right I am purchasing the boat and trailer from a guy that has had it in their family since new when his dad bought it in 1965. I will post pictures when I get it tomorrow. Its really in nice shape (besides wood) and looking forward to it. It will be powered by a 1985 Force 85hp unless I can find a 1965 motor before end. Very cool boats. I had one and sold and should no have! I hate fiberglass and really appriciate why you guys do restos on aluminum vintage boats. They still kick butt!

Anyways nice forum and looking forward to it.

Cheers from Ontario Canada
