Re: Started 78 mistress project
do you have more photo's maybe of the whole boat and transom.. I think this might be a boat I have been looking for.. maybe not, but I still like these old ones... does this boat have a cabin or is it bare, and what do the hatches look like in the deck... one big and one smaller?
thanks
Ernie
this is the one I am looking for.. dad remembers it as a '77

Re: Started 78 mistress project
You think running both tanks have a bearing on the handling ,or just more fuel storage?

Re: Started 78 mistress project
When we had our mistress I would leave about 3 to 4 gal of h2o in the fresh water tank. That is in the bow. The boat would ride like a tank through the rough......................
