the pix not very good but it was in bad shape when i got it had been sitting for 10 to15 years in a storage yard but it only had 75 hours on engines meters and cabin look like it had never been used so being a scarab nut I had to have it I had to make my garage bigger for the (5 boat ) that the next one in line

JetJock 03-02-2010 12:49 PM

Where did you find the Boat? Did you redo the stringers and transom? or were they dry?

I would like to see more pics, I think it is really neat to see the resto process--tell us more please!

tim leslie 03-02-2010 01:57 PM

I got it from trenton marine in N.J. and had seatech survey it they sad it was dry but they where wrong had to do trans and the rear of stringers so never use (seatech) in NJ I did not care abought the motors and drives I will post pix of the engine comparment when I take all tape off

JetJock 03-02-2010 03:20 PM

When did you buy the boat?

I like mine a lot. I would like to put it back to the classic deck teal color someday as my deck is white. My cabin is also in new condition, not used a whole lot.

What are you going to repower it with?

Keep the pics and info coming, very interesting!

tim leslie 03-02-2010 04:42 PM
