This 77 Tique was purchased new in 1977 by my father in-law. We now own the boat and have been in the process of slowly restoring it. There was about a 2 year period where the boat was owned by someone else, they unfortunately put a radio in the dash behind the spotter seat and added a few speakers in the rear. I plan to remove the radio and speakers, fill the holes and put it back to original. The exterior in great condition, we recently found that the stringers are rotted and we have a lot of wet foam, I guess is expected from a boat over 40 years old. Fall of 2018, we will be pulling the engine to rebuild, it has had an annoying tick for about 8 years. While the engine is out, the stringers and floor will be replaced as well as a new swim platform with new removabale brackets. Most of the interior is in good condition with exception of a spot on the front of the doghouse the ribs on the boom bracket. I am missing the original dash mounted mirror, so if you have one, let me know.
