Ive had this boat maybe 5 months now its 18ft not sure what hull it is i got it with bill of sale only i know its pre 73 cuz their is no HIN stamped on the hull anywhere. It hasnt been registered since 01. It has a 455 olds and a jacuzzi pump.. So far i ripped out all the old interior cocktail style seating old carpet.. replaced the wood flooring re glassed everything. All the seats were rotten. Found some plastic bucket seats and made all new seat mounts. Now it has 2 buckets and a rear bench im planning on re upholstering the seats. Ive laid new carpet. Got all the gauges working which i believe are hardin marine vintage gauges.. changed steering wheels & the exhaust to logs instead of bassets.

motor is bone stock 455 with KA heads and a mallory distributor.. runs real good. Im sure the jet could use some freshening up. Ive put it in elsinore once in november just to test. It will do 55 all day. Which im ok with for now. Haha.
Ive been on this forum for a few months now and this is my first actual post other than commenting or asking questions on others. I enjoy this forum real helpful and the people seem friendly and willing to help.  Feel free to give me an idea on what hull u think this is.

What would it cost to have my 2 buckets and bench seat done just like this? If i had the $ right now id buy these.!

Wow! That was a fast response. Thank you! I kind of like it. Especially if I pulled my motor out often. Cool man. Thanks

yea its almost like a quick release for all your wiring haha at first i didnt realy like it but it does make it easy.

It will look like this and you have to get a hub to match the bolt pattern of the steering wheel

ok cool thanks. Sorry for it was a newb question. First boat still learning everything haha

You will need to figure out how many bolts your current setup uses to mount the wheel and the go to cp performance or Rex marine and get a hub to mount the wheel.

i dont believe i see any bolts. It looks like its just pressed onto a 3/4 tapered shaft as i need to get a steering wheel puller to get it off.

I just used outdoor carpet from Home Depot  the non rubber backed kind. And 3M spray adhesive.

ok cool thanks. Im looking at doing my carpet this weekend.

How much did u pay for the carpet? Mine is ready to install new carpet just havent bought it yet. Also what adhesive did you use?

Yea it was just a quick trip. It started raining not long after i got their. The lake was dead. And choppy. @GeneralLee

Took mine out to elsinore last sunday for the first time since ive owned it . Ran great. Besides blowing an exhaust gasket it did great. Weather sucked but it handled the chop great. Their was only 2 other boats on the lake haha.

@ka0tyk oh ok sounds easy enough. Yea i will be doing this within the next week or 2. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help guys all of them look similar.

ok will do.. thanks alot!
