WOW!!...pics on the 1st post!!...you've jumped right in and w/one of the classics...pictured below is a '74 I had for about 10 years...laid out much the same as yours, I had great fun w/it and know you'll do the same w/your '77!!...cruise thru the Gallery for idea starters
Lots of work ahead...go for it, you'll never regret it...and once you splash her there's no lookin' back!!
Do you have outboard selected yet? Would suggest 150 min, but several here are very happy w/Zuke 140s...how's the transom?...solid or will it require a rebuild?...if it needs to be rebuilt, I'd strongly suggest rebuilding to a 25" transom...better in many ways...if solid, leave as is and go w/the originally intended 20" motor..just gonna depend on the level of restoration...
Great pics!!...welcome to the madness around here...ask ANYTHING...SOMEBODY will have an answer for you...pics of the progress (no matter how ugly) are always good
