It will be interesting to see what Dave comes up with.Due to whats on my hull,Reid convinced me mine is a '69,a very early one. It had a 289 per the engine tag and Dave.If it has a 302 and is close to mine,that means that HM was helping Ford unload those old 289's |

Gary, '68 and '69 were definitely a gray area for the 289 vs. 302. Dad sent me this earlier this week:
I dont know about you, but Im confused! Either way, its only a 13ci difference I guess. I do agree with Reid that youve got a '69... the metal scoop on the bow, the bow light, fiberglass buckets, etc are all clues. Interestingly, we believe this boat to be a '69 and it still has the wood based buckets. Strange. Dave, there is a hull ID plate on the stringer- Ill note the number this weekend and have you look it up! My official guess is that its a very early '69 and it didnt ship with a trailer... Im curious to hear what the official name of the color is. John, theres a good chance this boat will get fiberglass buckets eventually. Nick's Skier needs a set as well. No update since the last time we talked about it, but I do have a mold ready to start popping some out. Just need the time. We'd have to come up with a solution for the aluminum frames though- I have one set but will need at least one more for myself, so we may need to have some fab'd up. If you think Im posting pictures of my sister though, youre crazy! No ulterior motives here! |

Hope I am down for a bucket still if you get it worked out to be able to make a few.
As to the pictures..not crazy..just hopeful! If I remember right you have posted a picture of your Mom skiing and she was very good looking. john |

It took an ignition tune up and some fresh gas, but the engine runs! Jay definitely made good use of our January thaw (40 deg on Sat)...
Dave, if you get a chance to pull the records, the hull ID is M2381. Thanks! |

Ours is M2321 and was built in Nov 67. Maybe that is a 68?
60 boat difference. |

Mike, maybe- but if so, I would guess its a late '68. It does have the older style wood framed seats that I thought they only used through '68... but the front vent and bow light suggest its a '69 as advertised. Dave should be able to tell us for sure! |
