boat looks like a classic for sure. Same seats as my 28 (aka beer barrel seats????)

I would pull your suction return fuel tank covers and look at the tanks asap. this is what mine looked like and they were not suppose to be epoxy tanks (I checked with peter before I purchased) and they were not suppose to have had any ethanol ever put in them. I believe harry when he said he never put any in them, but I do not believe any stations when the advertise non-ethanol gas!

They are comfortable, but I sure like the newer Skater seats.

Maybe I could trade you these for the ones out of that 338? Ha! Just give it some thought.

Yes Ryan, She came from Skater with triple 260s. I have all the docs from Skater and for all of the work since. The prior owner ditched the 260's for the (2) 300 X's. He put it in the water with the 300's bolted straight to the transom (as was the 260's) only to find out in a few minutes that the 300's had to have CMC setbacks for clearance. He then removed the 300's, repaired the transom where the center 260 messed up the finish, installed the CMC's, and stopped. Most all of the rigging, cables, hoses, steering is too short of course. All of the work he did is top notch. It's just a little more incomplete than I expected.

Too soon to tell what the big plan is. If I decide to keep her around it will be a full restoration. Tripps would be interesting.
