Hello SCJB. I started an introductory thread over in the
No Wake Zone but thought it might be better to detail my project over here instead. I bought this boat a few months ago and have been slowly making progress and acquiring parts.
The registration says it's a '78 Tahiti. Best I can tell from searching the interwebz and looking at pictures is that it's a Super Tiger Bubble Deck. It's the typical Olds 455 / Berkeley 12JC with A-cut impeller combo. I got a smokin' deal on it from a friend who got it from a guy that tried to use it as a submarine. Literally sank with nothing above water but the nose bobbing in the bay. After it washed up on the beach my buddy helped recover it and called me.
As you can imagine it's a project. The motor is out and about 3/4 the way through the machining process. There's a laundry list of things to do that seems to be getting longer rather than shorter! LOL! Here's where she's at in a buddy's yard waiting for me to make room for it at my place...
