I ran through the whole boat with the knock test during my first visit and found no softies I did a more thorough knock test back in my driveway...and found none. I wish I had a moisture meter but ... The boat is gonna be a runner....with 90 HP :) . |

Curious to know how much you got that for? I would think there would be other ones in better condition than that for not a whole lot. Atleast that's how it was when I was searching for mine. I have an 85 and you got your work cutout for sure!
Its a great hull but you are going to need a lot more than 90hp on that to do anything more than putt around. I wouldn't consider anything below a 200. Most of these came specced with 260hp+ |

the boat sits too high on the trailer for my liking, so I wanted to adjust it...but the bolts are frozen and rusty many of the bolts were easy enough to twist and break-off using socket wrenches https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e297f471ca.jpg |
.
began replacing all adjustment nuts and bolts and vertical supports https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...160f9701a5.jpg |
