Look familiar? This is what mine looked like about 7 months ago. While you got the carpet off you might want to consider using carriage bolts to fasten those brackets for the ski locker cover. Mine just had regular bolts originally and after years of people standing on the ski locker cover the bolts pulled through the wood floor. I just reinstalled the regular bolts and then drilled holes between each of them to add the carriage bolts. Now I could do jumping jacks on that cover haha.

78 19.5' Sprint 460
 "Natural High"

Bought it from a good friend at Lost Lake (home base) almost two years ago. He was the second owner and he owned it for about 20 years. Dropped the exhaust valve on cylinder 7 last summer and had the motor rebuilt. All new carpet, and a bit of upholstery work. New steering cable. And of course, had to put a stereo and some speakers in it.

We love this boat. It's got character.
