Nice Off Topic Boat

Greg, That's a mid to late 80's Resorter 18. That is a clean boat. Any idea or how much? It fits on the SN trailer the same way ours did when we tried it, not very well. The lifting strake crosses over the bunk. But, that is a very clean boat. I'd be interested to know more!

The deck, if it's like all the ones I've seen, is painted with a vinyl paint. It doesn't scratch and it's easy to walk on, especially with those toe rails.

It's too bad someone added some deck hardware, (the cleats on the rear and the eyes on the side).

I've never seen one with a deck like that. I'd look into whether it was done like that originaly or if someone covered it at some point for some reason. They're very well made boats, and fast too. My brothers and I bought a new 1980 in May of '80. My brother still owns it. It does 48 gps with a 255 Mercruiser. Since getting into CC's the psat few years, my sons and I have speculated how fast one of those would go with engine mods. They are RR rotation too. They steer like an old truck, but are very cool, classic boats that are great to tool around in. We skied off ours for 13 years and at that time I thought it was a great ski boat. We bought ours over an '80 SN, mainly due to the classic colors and styling.

I didn't know you even left the house;.........well except for "Medicinal" purposes.

Good looking ride!

My father had a Resorter like that but his didn't have trim tabs. I don't remember what year his was (maybe '84) but it did have a Mercrusier in it. It was like driving a 50's Buick. You sank into the plushy seats and with all the chrome and the vent windows it was classy but no ski boat.

Thats a Georgia moonshine still made to look like a carport

thats more of a vage pink

Did you chunk the one good exhaust manifold you had for the Buick V-6? If not can I buy it?
Thanks,Marty Mabe

hey bruce   do you still have my seats ?   my wife wants them back    please help me get out of the @#^% house.    lol

bruce thanks   you can keep the seats if you have a boat to wrap around them . i still want a different style . i might keep the boat i just got wrapped up in the 37 coupe this summer and some work on the camaro. now i started a nice steel 26 t roadster pickup. so i really should just sit on the boat a while and not be so damn impulsive. what are you working on? and are you healthy again? tell me about your boats .

Need Pete to validate this, but I don't believe that deck to actually be vinyl, but a vinyl print in the gelcoat. We had a '72 Resorter which was constructed such. The earlier boats no doubt had all shades of colored vinyl decks over wood, but starting in about 1969 with the Cheetah and Resorters (and maybe others) this actual vinyl became textured gelcoat, I think. Definitely vinyl however, on that center strip.   Pete?   

I'll have to go look again...sure did feel like vinyl over the entire deck above the rub rails.

I have textured gel on a small walkway at the dock; it's a different animal.

I've seen one that was vinyl over the entire deck but it was a few years ago. The guy had redone it to original and did a great job. I've always wanted one after seeing how plush his was!
