Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

This is a second submission for this boat after building a new sliding canopy pilot house on it. First submission in this thread was number 354 at http://forums.iboats.com/boat-resto...-club-yes-no-maybe-346413-15.html#post3011945.

It's a 15' 10" Orrion with an 85 Chrysler modded with a mopar ignition box and MSD Blaster ignition coil.

Any trihullers with a outboard motor wanna kindly take pictures of how the fuel lines run and also mount to the tank for me? And how and where the battery is stored and secured? The prior owner just has every thing laying in the boat from the floor job. And now that the wave runner is up and back its time to move back to the bay liner. Thanks.

I'm currently in the process of buying the initial supplies to begin a full restoration of a tri-hull boat my father used to own. I would very much like it if there was a "specific" tri-hull club.

Currently, we all appear to be a loose knit group of people who have Tr-Hulls in common, have all found this page because we wanted to see if there were others out there on this restorative journey together, posed a picture, and some have requested a Tri-Hull sticker :)

I think the original posters would be proud of all the submissions in response to their original posts. I agree with Smitty1959 that it would be good to move this thread from "Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?" to "The Official Tri Hull Club" page or even a Facebook Page, and invite everyone.

Anyone else interested in stepping it up a notch?

I'm with David on this one. A Facebook page would be awesome. I too am not much into the social media but do have a Facebook profile. I also have a couple of things on Twitter such as local traffic, Nascar, and a couple other small sites. I have overlooked trihulls over the years but since I had my first, I am hooked. I probably won't own another style boat again.

My '77 Chrysler Funster. My parents got it around 1980. The original Chrysler 105 was worn completely out by the late 90s. My dad installed a '78 140 HP mercury tower of power. I'll be doing the transom and floor this spring.

My name is Matthew I own a 72' thunderbird Comanche. Owned since new by my father and now me. It's had it's gas tank replaced and the deck along with it. It's had three motors the original 100hp even rude replaced my a late eighties Johnson 115"new" followed by a 07 115"new" for connivence the late eighties actually was a trade in it over heated from time to time and leaked fluids anyway great boat "not one issue with the 07 since new as of 14'"I just hope it lasts me into my seventies um and the seats carpet etc has been replaced in 2007 I love this boat.
