73' Tahiti Crusader
« on: April 02, 2009, 12:10:02 PM »
Picked this boat up about 2 weeks ago. The boat was given to me. It has a 455 in it with a Berkeley 12JC. Interior is toast. Gel coat has seen better days. Im debating whether to paint it or wet sand it and wax it. Stress cracks everywhere so I think I'll opt for the first option.

Should be fun. The back of the floor is rotted out. nothing major. I cant complain too much seeing as it was free. Stringers looked good. the hull looks good other then a repair made to the driver side rear corner on the bottom. they did a decent job so im not worried. Plans for it are a mild 460. rebuild the pump. paint it white and black. My buddy kyle and I had some wood layin around so we threw together an interior. might change it around to make more room. Mind you we've never built anything for a boat.

Got bored last night so we pulled it off the trailer. Started to sand off the old nasty orange and brown stripes. I plan on painting the boat white with some sort of black stripe on the side. Got a killer deal on logs, bellhousing, and water pump cover. Found a pretty sweet crack in the hull right where the trailer stringer ends. More pictures to come later.
