Good looking boat. I love the colour. She looks great in the water too. To bad about your outdrive though. Good luck with it.

With that camper sitting in the background I thought it had a cabin on it at first glance.
Sorry about the drive problems.

my avitar pic is the first big trip it went on... only o float back to camp due to upper gear unit crapping out a bearing...

fixed that, had great fun last summer, this summer engine developed a knock,,, two months of dignosis---rod knock

back in the garage it goes for more surgery....and some finishing chrome trim around the inside edges....add new stereo, add fishing pole holders,​

THANKS! its just another day for watts o' fun.....LOL in my world of old used stuff if i havn't fixed it then i dont own it...i'm just that way.... buy something cheap and rebuild to new conditon....ends up being cheaper than new, and more reliable...(eventually)
