Just want to stop in and introduce myself. I'm 22 years old and live in the central valley. I live about 10 mins away from Lake Success and have grown up on the lake. The yellow/white/woodgrain boat was the first boat I had ever purchased. I bought in when I was 19 years old from my dads mechanic buddy. It had a built 550hp ford 460 with a berkeley jet and hydraulic jetovator. The boat was a 1978 Frahs 20' mini day cruiser. The boat was fast.....
I was forced to sell the boat last summer since funds were running low and I needed the cash to pay for college tuition. Now I'm close enough to graduating that I could safely buy another. So, after months of searching (and after looking at probably 40 different boats) I found the one! The white/blue/woodgrain 1974 21' Cheyenne DayCruiser is my new toy! The org. paint is in great shape, the woodgrain looks brand new, hull is sound, and top of the boat doesn't have a single stress crack. Its powered by an org. 455 olds with a berkeley jet and manual divertor. It also has a brand new floor, new seating arrangement with all new wood/carpet/upholstery etc. I couldn't be happier with it. Runs and looks awesome! I haven't had a chance to take pics yet but I do have the pics the previous owner sent to me.
I'll post current and better pics soon! I'm heading to the lake tomorrow with a buddy....and filling the remaining four seats up with a few of the ladies 8)

Welcome from a central ca neighbor. Nice cruiser--Cheyenne boats were built right here in Clovis for a few years and are good solid hulls. I have the same interior layout in my Sanger jet cruiser except the narrower seat is on the driver's side and the wider seat is on the passenger side. We spend most of our time at Pine Flat, Millerton, and Shaver Lake.
