before we were born in 1993, daddy who was spending to much time with the refrigerator decided that the old 65 searay wouldn’t pull him up on one ski anymore,so he found this tique at a buddies house sitting outside looking for a savior. the previous owner kept it perfect, till one day his roomates decided to go boating without him and went to put it in only to find out that he kept the plug out. the tique went in and so did the car towing it. they didn’t tell him, and he found out 2weeks too late for the motor. daddy’s had it in the garage for 14 years now, and we’re 12 and 14, and ready to ski, so we got daddy into gear. he took the completly rebuilt 302 that he redid 14 yrs. ago and has been turning over alittle ech year and installed it back in the boat, along with new gas tank rebuilt trans etc, etc,on new years day he pulled it out and we who had been handing tools for about a month, hid behind the garage while daddy turned the key. it started and sounded awesome, scared us, the horses,sheep, and mom. but we can’t wait to go on the water.
