    This boat was bought new by my dad in 64 or 66 there is some arguement about the date.it was restored in 87. It has sat outside without a cover or being winterized since 98. we hope to be useable by summer 07 and made to look nice, paint and such, by summer 08 <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" />

    Was it parked so that the water could run out of it?

    Does the hull not have a tracking fin underneath? I'm asking because I notice the trailer has rollers all down the middle of it. Obviously the rollers would pose a problem if these is one.

    The ski pylon and mounting brackets were custom made by my father and a friend when the boat was new.

    Nice boat! It is great to be able to know the history of your boat - particularly when it has been in the family since new. I tried to find out more about my boat but the dealer (who was selling it on consignment for the owner) was not willing to find anything out for me. I hope someone sees my original photo on this website and recognizes the boat and can provide some history.

    The restoration on your boat is going to be a lot of fun. I've enjoyed every moment of my project. There must be something wrong with me. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" border="0" alt="Rolling Eyes" title="Rolling Eyes" />

    Your first priority should be evaluation of the transom because if it needs to be replaced that will drive a lot of other decisions about how you proceed. I'd be happy to help with advice. Just PM me for my phone number if you get to a point where you'd like some help.
