Brings back memories.  78 Challenger was my first boat. That was back in 1981, man time fly's.  Cool boat, enjoy it! :thumbup:

It's in pretty good condition honestly. As you know pretty much everything is original. Most the work that's being done is cosmetic. If I had to guess I'm thinking the hours since you sold it are minimal. It looks like it's sat for the last couple years so I brought the shine back, replaced the steering wheel , replacing the gauges, new flip top gas caps, new stainless scoop, rewired and new led lights on the trailer. After this season I will have the interior redone and possibly new paint. I'm having a hard time getting the paper work taken care of with Arizona fish and game though.

Does the paperwork have the name Mancuso on it? That's who I bought it from (and he owned it for years and years) and then I sold it back to his kid.....If there is any help I can give you with the paperwork pertaining to anything with his name,just gimme a shout.... I can contact him with no issues! When ya get it all done...you'll have a blast,it was a fun boat,but it didn't have headers when I owned it,was still nice and quiet and safe for the kids (gettin' the rope) and ski'in' and such!  ;)  :beer: The pic with my boy in it was the day I brought it home...the other one...well,it was when I got done "playin" with it!  8)  :beer:
