Congrats on yer new "V" ... can you post the link to yours on E Bay? ... ;) ...


The only thing I can think about '78 was a transition year for the "V" ... that was 1st year the put fuel tank in floor, but it was only 42 gals...after that it went to 60 and a self-bailing floor-deck w/scuppers ... 42 gals not AMPLE, but it'll be enough to have LOTS of fun with, particularly if ya got a fuel-sippin' 4-stroke or somethin' ...member here, Randlemanboater just put 40 in his, w/a 140 4-stroke Zuke, so he'll be fine... ;)

Congrats! What has she got for power? Is it an I/O? Is it is it is it? Mine's a 78 as well. 42 gal tank all right, it has been enough for me, but I don't go too far in it...yet.
