Re: Show Yer Boat II
Hi guys great site thank you for all the info.
I purchased this 1979 AMF/Crestliner 19' Bowrider with a Mercruiser 228 I/O about 5 weeks ago for $1,500.00. The hull had a lot of oxidation but shined up nicely with a buffer and some 3M polish. I had my brother in law help me with the pre launch inspection (he has been a boater for years on the North Fork of Long Island, NY) and this baby runs terrific. I have a long list of stuff to take care of in the spring prior to launching. The electrical needs to be re done the only gauges that work now are the RPM's and the temp guage. I need to troubleshoot the trim system there is a very small leak by the motor and the outdrive falls down when the boat sits. I have found a wealth of info here to help me keep her maintained. Up to this point I have always owned small aluminum boats.

PS: I almost forgot to mention this. Take a close look at the carburetor in the engine picture. It appears the previous owner did not have the correct bolt to mount the carb and used a bunch of nuts for spacers. I really hope the threads are correct. I'm going to get the proper bolt, claen the carb and rebuild in the spring if necassary.
