All of the systems on that boat were eventually replace, the engines and tranny's, electronics, AC, interior, wiring, new engine beds with adjustable motor mounts, (one thing Ricky boats never had back in those days) The list of work done is endless. She was a long drawn out Labor of Love. But well worth the effort.......... Happy to see someone else enjoying this timeless classic!
