Just picked up this new project. Has a 454 BBC and a 12JG. It's a little rough in a few areas, but should turn out nice. Think I had more trouble trying to reorganize the boats I already have to make this one fit.

Very cool boat, I like the shape of the deck
You have got to replace those ugly a$$ trailer fenders

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Yeah, the trailer needs a complete overhaul. New bunks, carpet, and fenders. The owner told me that the guy he bought it from took the round fenders off and put those beauties on in there place...don't know why.

Those look like stock 502 valve covers! Maybe the old owner was mis informed , I'd run the numbers just for the hell of it.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Thanks for bringing that up. I'll check into it. The owner was telling me that the motor was all purple including some tall valve covers that were on it. I guess a friend of his liked them and traded his(502 looking covers) for the purple ones. I was told the boat runs 70-72mph, but I'll have to do my own testing.

Don't really want to sell it, but already have a running boat and this one is just taking up space...Plus I got some home projects I have to finish before the baby is born in June. Don't like the prices make an offer. Thanks Jared

Nice find! I like the scheme on the deck and the dual starters. I'd do away with the windshield.
