I got me one! (New Member, too!)

[spoggy]

Hey all! I'm a new member here. I live in Ohio, by Elyria and have been on a boat every summer for the last 45 years. My home port is generally Vermilion, but I occasionally slide over to Lorain. I used to do delivery work by water, and have personally owned three boats. A 1977 Starcraft powered with a 125 outboard Evinrude, a 25', 1964 Lyman Cruisette soft top repowered with a V8 225 inboard Chrysler, and a 26' 1982 Sea Ray sport 350 Mercruiser I/O. My newest addition is a 1977 V20 Cuddy with a 1971 1350 Kiekhaefer Mercury.

The boat is pretty stripped, motor needs a water pump, lots of cosmetics, some soft spots around the transom, no electronics and the teak hatch covers are painted electric blue, but I see some promise in there.

I just picked the vessel up in Michigan and brought it back to Ohio on Thursday. According to the PO, he picked it up in Ohio a couple years back, so I was just returning it home

I'm looking forward to meeting some of you. I'll have some pics up in an album soon!
