Good looking, reliable, classic towboat. Used regularly during my 14 years of ownership. Runs, drives and sounds great with a 351 Pleasure Craft Marine V8 motor. Has updated electronic ignition and a rebuilt transmission (1998?). The boat has been maintained well.
This is not showboat however - we used it to tow. The lower hull has chips, bubbles and some discoloration for 30+ years of use. The hour meter stopped 3-4 years ago and shows 1250 Hrs. Probably 1500Hrs now. The heads were supposedly done right before I got the boat because the valve seals had deteriorated, so they were freshen while they were off. I believe this to be true because we have very little oil consumption and good pressure.
I have taken this boat all over the winter park chain and not been at all worried that it would strand us – It never has, accept for the time when I ran out of gas.
