You bought this from Dave?
Dark green sides yellow stripe with TRS outdrive?
If so congrats you beat me to it, if not that baby would now be in Florida.

Congratulations! Yes it must be #10. # 7 should have a January 1977 date I believe - will have to double check old records. Where are you taking her?

So the survey checked out fine? Did they find any issues? Just wondering how the 30+ year old boat has held up.

Excellent !!! I live in NY and work as a property manager at a summertime resort property... tough to get time to get away in the summer or I would have picked that boat up a month ago!!!

Good luck with it and post some pics please... as I want to see what I missed out on...

WOW! Should have told me that first. Great boat. My dad actually built this boat for himself but a salesman sold it while he was away lol!!

I actually tried to buy this boat back in the mid-1990's but I didn't have the $$ then. This was the first big-block 24 w/ a TRS fyi. Looking fwd to seeing the pics. I'll dig a few out tonight. It was originally owned by a guy named Harry Carr out of Bristol RI for years.
