This is my first project, Its a 1975 tahiti with a 455 oldds and berkly pump. I have been browsing this site for a while and figured it was time to post it up. Its ugly but a start. New interior and paint will be done this winter. The motor and pump have about 10 hours on them. Any comments welcome. Nice work on the site by the way its great.

Welcome to the site waternut :D
That looks like a boat I remember seeing for sale on Brockton in Redlands.
Enjoy the build. And if all goes well you'll have it done in less the 27 pages ;D

It is the boat that was on brockton st in Redlands.

"Looking Good", keep the pics coming as you progress with your first boat, When I was at that point with my first boat I decides to rewire the boat and replace the gauges as it was easy to access the wiring... hec I even removed the gas tanks and had them hot dipped being the engine was out, just my 2 cents
-
I was thinking the same, Gages are new, the tanks leak so they are coming out and the boat only has about half the wiring so that will all get done as well. I will keep posting as i go. Thanks for all the input, you guys have helped more than you know.

You in need of aluminum saddle tanks? These came out of a 1987 Bahner jet, they are IMCO tanks.. make me an offer I can't refuse and they are yours (tired of tripping over them)...What else do you need, I think its garage sale time....
