Re: Started 78 mistress project

Yeah my H20 tank is port side under the sink soon as you go down in cabin.Looks like my bow fuel tank has not been hooked up for some time.Think I will pressure test just to see if it is good.

Re: Started 78 mistress project

a friend of mine used to race these boats years ago and he tells me the front tank was filled with water and used for ballast, there was a switch you could pull to drain the water out of the front tank when you wanted to lighten up the boat

Sure does look like she was mistreated....Made me want to cry after all the hard work my husband did on it. Looks like they may have hit something on the front of it as well..?? Good luck, she sure was a good riding boat.

Yeah,
She was run hard and just put up.No maintenance to speak of.Looks like last owner didn't care about his boat.I'll get her back in shape.Pulling starboard motor and tranny this weekend.Motor looks good but tranny is shot(mud,sand and water on dipstick).Bet she really looked good when you had here fixed up!You can't beat these old boats and their history
