This boat is in decent shape considering it's a 1969. It still needs some work in order to completely restore it. It is a bit of a project but most of the major stuff has been done. However, the trailer is serviceable but it has seen better days. Needs a new rim on starboard side. I bought a new tire but there is a leak around the valve stem that can be fixed with some welding or a new rim. The boat hung in our boathouse and was in a boathouse before so the trailer was only used about 1/4 of it's life. The leaf springs and axle are solid just have some rust. Purchased the boat in 2008 from my cousin (his family the original owners). I have done a lot of stuff to it:
New stringers, floor foam, and floor fiberglass
New exhaust hoses (from Correct Craft company)
New drive shaft
New Borg Warner starter
New Edlebrock Marine carb
Fresh tune up (plugs, coil, fuel filters, air filter, etc.)
Heads have been reworked and less than 25 hours on them, engine compression is up to spec on all cylinders
Replaced gaskets
Oil and oil filter changed at the beginning of every season
Replaced impellor in water pump
Bimini top
Teak swim platform
Original guages
Original driver's seat (has been re-upholstered)
I made a passenger seat and back bench
Replaced old gas tank with a plastic one
Replaced the white stripe down the side
Added a Keelshield
Had the inside of the dogbox sprayed with Line-X bedliner
Pump works
Blower works
Dashlights work
Nav lights work
This thing has a wicked wake perfect for wakeboarding!
Most of the things I've done were to make the boat a little more family friendly (platform, back bench, etc.). I have many more pictures if interested. Please understand this boat is for sale as is. I won't be putting any more money into it as I just don't have time with a new baby now in the mix. I have many more pictures and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Call or text 334-549-0959.
