The Ambassador officially has seats. Sorry I did not get more pics of the install. It was kind of a rush deal. I had time the Saturday of memorial weekend to get it done so I knocked it out and took it to the lake the next day. They worked great. They slide, swivel and elevate. There is room to swivel them completely around. Next up is the engine cover.

The addition of a 3rd boat to the stable slowed down progress on the Ambassador. Here is a cool Ambassador project if someone wanted one.

Seeing the description is one of the logest run on sentences I have ever seen, I can just about guarantee there is some incorrect information in there. I will say that the wood in my 76 Ambassador is in good shape even though it sat out uncovered for several years. There is a chance the structural part of the boat on ebay is in good shape. The interior is obviously shot. I don't see how that boat ever did anywhere near 90 MPH with Jacuzzi YJ pumps. As an over of 2 boats with YJ pumps I can tell you they cavitate pretty badly above 60 or so MPH. Still a cool old boat.

Too bad those graphics are so ugh . . . I do think the twin jets is rare, but his definition of rare is odd. She would be fun to run though. Here's to her finding a good home, or vice versa.

I'm guessing someone has painted that hull. He mentions "paint" and I don't recall seeing with any kind of graphics like that. I hope she finds a good home....hopefully I will have the extra $$ to pick up one of them in the near future. That would be a fun restore.
