Pretty Much Done...with pics!!

[78ImperialT]

This is my 1978 Imperial Tri-Hull

I was almost lucky enough to have finished the project under 1500.00 total investment.

the boat and trailer were given to me...though both were in shambles...you cant beat free!

done the work myself so didnt spend any money on labor...

things were good until today...motor up and quit! if you are a mechanic i have a post in the johnson forum and would appreciate any help.

hope you enjoy the pics!!

Looks like you did a great job on her and with the help of the guys in the Johnson forum you'll be back on the water in no time.

sounds like poor battery connections to me,

after its fixed consider installing a temp guage, the heads usually come pre-tapped for the sensor, I got mine for around $40 here on iBoats.
Just looked, they're out of stock on all of them.
