1977 SN with a rebuilt 351 and tranny. New interior and sound system. This was the second boat bought from this site (other boat is a 69’ Barracuda bought in 2007). This boat was a total different story than the 69’. After many emails and phone calls I drove from NH to FL and back in 3 days!!! I was expecting a 100% restored 77’ SN, but that was not what we got.
We arrived in Orlando @ 8am Sat morning after driving 24 hrs straight, to a beautiful 77 SN sitting in the water. Interior looked nice, gel coat was pretty good, and it started right up. I was told it had a new floor, but the soft spot behind the drivers seat made me wonder... The control cables look original, but was told they were new too... ok whatever, maybe driving 24hrs straight makes you a bit cranky... So we get the boat up to speed everything is running pretty well, until we make a left hand turn, and we never came out of that turn... the steering cable was original and shredded up inside the helm making for a great NASCAR boat. We call her "LEFTY" now. Yes we bought the boat, but not for the $6650 the seller wanted but $3600.
LEFTY is now home. We have skiied twice behind her already, and mostly everything is pretty good. Lefty gets out of the hole quick and now turns both right and left!!!
