I'm going to try to get this boat in the water this year. It's a matter of me making the time.

I bought the boat from a guy who flew in town to settle his Fathers estate after he died suddenly.

I paid $425 for the boat as quick as I could pull my wallet out, After I bought it the guy told me his father mentioned to him he had the motor 'completely gone through' at a local boat shop prior to his passing away but didn't know what was done.

I did appreciate the fact he told me this after I bought the boat and I believed him.

The boat sat for a year at my place before I even started it it fired right up and purred like a kitten. I feel guilty about not properly taking good care of her but I now have a renewed interest.

I'll try to post more as time goes by.

Re: Nineteen pics

It's driving me crazy, I can't find the title he gave me. I'll let you know when I find it.

Can you do a search on the hull # ?

Hello all, the last 3 numbers are 790 on the transom, so I'm thinking she's a '79 like Ziggy says, I've got the title I know, I just have to go through my shop!
