No time to finish the project. I'd really like to take it with me but CA to TX is a long haul with ANOTHER project so it's gotta go.

The hull is fairly straight. The ply wood needs replaced (dry rot) but the transom seems to be in really good shape. The gel is done, needs paint and I started to strip the deck. There is no interior other than a couple seat frames. The tanks are in there along with a Jac YJ pump that looks good. The pump does need an intake grate but I can't see any damage to the impeller on it. Steering rack is good but needs a cable and wheel. The floor seems good, these hulls were 1/4 stringer and those look good as well. This sits on a vintage single axle trailer.

This is setup for a 455 olds. Thats the bad part about it. The good part is that I have 99.9% of everything you need to power it up. The machining work needs to be done to the block and a set of pistons. I have 2 nitrided cranks, 1 block, 2 sets of rods, 2 sets of pistons that may or may not work (i haven't checked the bore side of the block and the walls have some rust from sitting). I have an edelbrock manifold, 750 and 850 double pumper carbs, and a bunch of other motor stuff. It's got BRAND NEW heads. They are completely new with larger valves, hard seats, etc.. Still in the bag!. I have all the motor mount plates, water plates, and a set of nikson logs. I need to get this one out of here.

$750 takes everything.

If you're looking to go low buck on it, you should prime it yourself and have it painted. I'm in the middle of a 1973 Sleekcraft Rebel project that looks alot like yours. Gold blingin bassboat big flake on it with the same clear coat peeling off. The best part of the boat was the wood grain laminate on the deck. The first thought on it was to sand off the deck and cut into the flake gel to get rid of all of it. 80 grit on the DA and 12 hours of sanding later, i'm giving up on that idea. The next plan is to sand off all the clear top coat (I have to flip the hull to do the bottom) and lay primer on top. I just finished my neighbors hull with polyester primer and i'm going to do the same with this. The poly lays on super thick and bonds with anything. Just make sure you repair any cracks, crazing, etc.. before shooting the primer. You can shoot the primer out of a $25 HVLP gun from harbor freight. Just prime it, block it, and send it out for paint and call it a day. Also, I got the primer from a wholesale place in SD for $65 a gallon shipped. If you go this route, let me know and i'll steer you in the right direction for materials.
