sure wish i had the ford V8. but a 1600 pound boat shouldn't take that much to move.

Re: just thought I'd post some pictures of my boat.

thanks guys. Its my first boat. I've wanted a boat for as long as I can remember. So hopefully I can get her in the water this weekend.

She really is in great shape, never wet docked, garaged every year.

Re: just thought I'd post some pictures of my boat.

anything in particular you'd like to see?

The rear portside seat is out right now. I'm replacing the bottom wood, luckily the vinyl and foam are in good shape still.

Pics will give me a good excuse to go wash it anyway.

Its definitely not perfect, but overall, for a boat that age its in excellent shape.

wow ziggy! Its almost the same boat! Any idea where I could get a bulb for that swivel light on the starboard bow? Mine works, but it seems dull.

I've thought about selling it andy, but I like it too much! Its such a fun little boat.

Re: just thought I'd post some pictures of my boat.

man, the more i look at those two boats, the more i think there the exact same.... look at the side, right before the transom, the down line. the bow, with the point between the stripes... yer helm is the same too. though i do have different gages, but that's not the boat.... i've found very little info on mine. what i have found is that there may be a link between trisonic and mark twain. i've also heard of a link to cobalt... man, yer convinceing me that may not be a lie..... check out marktwaine.org i think. i might be misspelling that... google it. i believe that's where i read about the links between the company's.....

as for yer light. i don't know. but is probably not cobalt made. all other parts on the hull are someone elses parts. attwood, perko, mercruiser, etc... so perhaps ya might persue that line of thinking for the bulb...... sorry, what ya see on mine is the horn, not a spot light.... and that horn is now on my aristocraft....;)

btw, that's one fine handleing boat too. that trisonic is what i grew up with, it was dads. man, as a 16 year old driveing that. i really put it thru the loops, litrally..... even got it airborne.... once, sure was fun though..... sure got in trouble with mom when i got home too......... anyways, enjoy yer new boat man, it's a sweety......
