hello every one
i just got this boat from a friend. it is in peces as he was took it apart to restore it and never got to putting it togeter again. first i would like to kno if any one could tell me what kind of boat it is all it says on the reg is "the boat shop" it has a ford 460 with bassett wetstacks, a berkley pump and it is a 1979 model that is all that i know about it and having trouble looking for parts for it. second all the cooling lines are gone as well as the thermostat and housing i was woundering were and what kind of thermostat housing to get for it. third i also need some pics of how to run the cooling lines from were ever it starts through to the end where ever that may be. any help or input would be great im am really looking forward to getting this puppy goin and i need all the help i can get
best thing u can do to tell what kind of boat would be to post up a pic and look on the rear passenger side for the HIN. the first 3 letters will tell you the manufacturer. like mine is "TAH183901850918590" for tahiti.
do yourself a favor and just browse thru the tech forums here. a simple search will pull up diagrams for water routing and many explanations on how to set it all up with a gate, etc.
hopefully some of the ford people here can chime in about the thermostat housing and the best route to go with that.
welcome to the boating world!
