The electric lift operates. Very neat ski tow hook. The exhaust pipes have been re-chromed. All cooling hoses are new. The rear 3 feet of the floor was removed. The balsa and foam was replaced and the floor reinstalled. You will find it very hard to see even in person, the work was excellent. The front motor mount in the floor was rebuilt when the floor was removed. The throttle and shift cables are new. Has automatic bilge pump. The fish finder transducer is installed but the fish finder is not installed but is included. I do not know if it works. I have the front section of the canvas top and it’s hardware. It is probably complete. The canvas needs to be replaced. Trailer included.
Practically every part has been taken off of the boat, inspected or repaired or replaced. Every small hole in the transom has been drilled out oversize, filled with epoxy and re-drilled to the correct sizes to prevent water from getting into the transom. The hole for the outdrive was also sealed with epoxy. This was a multi year restoration, with the intent of creating a boat that will last for another 30 years +.
There are a few scrapes on the bow and the right gunwale, just to the right of the rear of the windshield is a little damaged. It is too minor to be able to see in the pictures but you will see it in person. The compass may work but I am not sure. The two rear air scoops need to be restored. The boat is not quite as clean as the pictures, they were taken year before last. The windshield wiper does not work. It is still install and I have the arm and blade. I have several pieces of original literature for the boat. This boat really attracts attention wherever I take it.
