Sorry guys but I think I am going to be trading in the old 79 champ for a newer model boat. For the past year I have been reading all the posts and slowly but surely fixing the old girl up and adding a few things here and there well here is a link for the new possibilty don't know yet for sure.

I really want to get the old girl out again and ride it 1st I may keep it for a few years then sell her for the new one.
Here Is my problem the only "safe" lake near me for how deap this boat rides is 2 hrs so I was going to keep it down our beach house. The other thing is I am going to need more room soon and my fiance doesn't feel safe in the old boat.
Don't get me wrong I love this old gal she has more character. I am also floating around talking my fiance into letting me keep her and still get the new one. Even that boat is a compromise I am going to have to pick my days to go offshore with it. It would also be good to get the ol lady out in the V so that she can feel more comfortable in it she has only seen the thing torn apart since I bought it.
Hell my buddy who sold me the boat just bought another 79 except the O/B version.
