It's to bad so many Cary 50's have been canniblelized. They do require a lot of time and money but well worth the effort if you can find one in decent condition.

I'm looking at an '86 50' on Lake Erie named "NAIL IT!!"
Is anyone familiar with this boat? History? Photos?

poolsinc1 . . . I've got a friend here on Lake St. Cair with a Super Nova 19, too! Named 'SUPER BUZZ!"

Why don't you repower with diesels? The fuel burn of those gas motors must be huge.
