Wow it sure looks pretty mint for a 1970 boat....That brandy spankin' new trailer under her doesnt hurt the looks either. A 1970 boat may be the oldest one on the site? Was the first year of prodction right? Welcome to the site you'll have a blast hanging around here. What part of the country are you from?

Yeah the trailer definitely helps, overall the boats in great shape especially for being Forty years old. as to location I'm in Sussex County Virginia, and usually fish the Chesapeake bay
and its tributaries. This site is great by the way Ive been tooling around here for a week or so in preparation, and there is definitely a wealth of knowledge to tap into here.

I believe its a 160 Mercruiser I/O. I always loved the lines on the V20s, all that flare! I'm super excited!

You should be excited, you have a terrific looking boat. Best part about it is that it came from your Dad. I bet you spent a lot of good times on that boat with your Dad, and will have lots more good times on her with your Dad and others you love. Enjoy!

@nipper very true I spent almost all day Sunday with my three year old daughter cleaning her up, she didn't want to stop now everyday she asks me when we're going to go fish. I remember doing the same things with my Dad. My seven year old daughter however, I still have some work to do. And just to correct myself its a 165 Mercruiser inline six. Facebook has nothing on this site!
