Almost finished!

looking good what are you using for power? Inboard or I/O?

It's a straight inboard. It's a 1976, one of 22 made that year and one of 86 ever produced. The previous owner repowered it back in the winter of 05-06 with a marine power 350-330hp. He also at that time had the tranny rebuilt and replaced the tanks. I have had to do some work to it but over all it is turn key and ready to go.

Do you know what your spinning for a wheel? I have the same power on my 23 and would love to hear your performance numbers when you have her in for the season.

I have a big tall hard top and I'm wordering how much it's slowing me down. Good luck and feel free to ping me with any questions on the inboard.

Have you gotten ball scuppers yet? It's a must have for that boat.

Looks great Dan!

Some fish are about to get educated!

Almost there! We started her in the driveway first and let her run off the hose for a while and all systems were good. We then took the boat on it's first shake down cruise on a lake close to home on Saturday. I did manage to ding the prop while loading on the trailer. Nothing major and thank god I wasn't in gear. I got all the electronics wired up and mounted. With the exception of the Fishfinder which is not being recognized by the GPS (combo unit) all are working good. Windows still are not installed but should be by the weekend. Spent yesterday chasing wires and cursing out the previous owners. Finally by the end of the day we had running lights, bilge pumps x2, and blower x2, all working off a brand new swith/breaker pannel. Still got to hide all the wires. Oh yeah, got the riggers mounted too.
