Barry, et al
It is in good shape. I have two new seats for it, redid the teak already which turned out beautifully and will do the electrics this spring but keep it simple, add a gps/chart/depthsounder 7" unit and not bother with tach and speedo. Making good progress and have cleaned the trailer up and resprayed some of the zinc coating on it. Has a cover from a used billboard with white sign side up and that has her stored for the winter. One of my back bedrooms has several boxes of items for it for spring, seats, etc. and none is a huge project. The new seats fit on the existing posts. I'll compound and polish it at home in the driveway in spring where I can plug the new polish applicator and buffer in and let electricity do the work. Where I've done it a little manually it came back quite well. Next week will go get the trailer titled and licensed then after that the same for the boat now that all the paperwork is here from the Florida dealer. It towed very easily from Florida up I 95 for 617 miles bringing it home. I have two suvs, one a 2008 TBSS with big Corvette race engine, billstein shocks, 4:11 rear end and huge sway bars and tranny extra coolers built by gm performance to run the Nurburgring track and it handled it with east at a sedate 64 mph home. It has two new radial trailer 14" tires on it that the dealer had put on it 25 miles before I bought. Bearing hubs have bearing buddies on them and were nice and cool trailering it up from Florida. I think is is going to end up a really good boat for the way I'll use it here in Virginia. Some cosmetic gel coat crack work to do but very little and normal for the age. Very satisfied at this point. You can see why so many people like this boat. Lance Pearson
