Last week I acquired this boat from my father who originally purchased it at the Los Angeles boat show in 1977. It has 308 hours with the Ford 302/4 and it sounds great. I picked it up last week in CA and towed it home to Northeast Texas no problem. The trailer is a modified Giroux tandem. The painted graphics on the side of the hull and the upholstery is badly faded. At least there are no splits in the vinyl. This is my first boat, so I'm sure I'll have tons of questions. Thanks in advance for all your help. (I almost said "all y'all's" help!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Wow, a single family boat for over 40 years! What a time capsule. You’ll have a great time with it. I wasn’t aware the graphics were painted on that vintage.
Shoot us some more pictures interior and engine when you get a chance and keep the thread updated as you get it all cleaned up, or risk us crazies constantly bothering you. You’re sure to find some folks on here close to you in Texas. Welcome aboard. |
