Can you Tell Me About This Boat?

Thanks bcraigan. This boat definitely seems to have 9 lives. My dad and I bought it about 13 years ago. The hull is in surprisingly good condition considering it's age and level of neglect. I would say it was uncovered and unused in Bluffton SC for a period of two to three years. With only a very minimal amount of use.

It's been fun working on it. Although honestly most of what needs attention is the Suzuki DT200 on the back. It's really only needed a good carb job, couple of fuel lines replaced, some new plugs and it's pretty close to being good to go.

I think my next couple items to address are going to be cosmetic, like getting a new canvas for the T-Top and repairing or replacing some hatches. If anyone has a good source for repairing or replacing hatches on these boats, I'm all ears. Even if it's just a good build thread, I would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks again!
Chris
