So I sold my baby. The 81 sprint as most people know. I built it and loved it but we needed something more versatile that would fit our family. Lake mead put a beating on the Sprint not to mention scared us a few times with the wind and ocean like waves. I sold the sprint with the intent of building a new pool but decided to hold off on that for a year. Started looking off and on and got tagged on this this Sport Cruiser thanks Brad for spending my money (again) lol. Looked like a clean cruiser and loved the lines of it. Went to look at it, wasn't sure if I wanted another huge project, and walked away. Thought about it and did some research, offered much lower than what was being asked and came to a good price. So here it sits in the garage.

Picked it up Friday before Xmas and couldn't stand it. Pulled the interior. And then pulled a section of the floor only to find water. No Bueno.

 So Hal (holorinhal) came by and thinks he knows the original owner, so hopefully may find out some history and maybe get some pics of it from the early 80s.

Welcome to the ford family haha yessss

So made some more progress today, pulling the floor and cleaning all the crud up. Got a whole pile of old interior just chillin!

Not sure about that just yet 👀

Don't fight it! Come over to the darkside my son.

Welcome back to the eliminator family lol

Not much to report just cleaning  stuff. Pulled the valve covers to have a look at found some nice parts! Scorpion RR 1.73's. Talked to the old the old owner and the motor was rebuilt .30 over. So it's a 466, dove-c heads, performer intake, 850 dp carb, clay smith cam and a Dooley pan . May end up running it for a while. Gonna try to get the rest of the floor out in the next week.

Nice boat. I just picked up an 85 eliminator and love it.

Good looking colors

Color sanded the deck, used 1000,1500,2000,3000 grits and then followed it with compound and Polish. Didn't get all the scratches out but made a big difference

Job well done. 👍

What were you attaching the sand paper to?

Looks a hell of a lot better.

Just a regular sanding block. Nothing special

Looking good. Are we going to see the boat on the water this summer?
