My 1977 Ski Nautique. I brought this back to life after being stored for 21 years. It is a solid boat and runs very strong.
I've replaced fuel lines, belts, impeller, alternator, engine wiring harness, plugs, points,condenser, rotor, cap, shaft and rudder packing, carpet and fluids. Because it sat for 21 years I had to cut open the over-sized aluminum fuel tank to properly clean it out. Thankfully, I have a friend that is a great aluminum fabricator and can TIG weld. While working with the fuel tank I replaced to fuel sending unit with a stainless reed switch model.
The interior is in excellent shape with the exception of the three piece rear seats. The zippers gave way and the bottom vinyl is brittle. I plan to replace them this winter. Until then, the foam and vinyl will not go back in.
The floor and stringers are solid.
Thanks for looking.
