Project? That focker looks clean!

More pics. Congrats to the kid? How old is he? Love the “passing of the touch” and getting the kids to catch the performance boat bug.

its very clean......given its age.

i used to have a 21, he was driving it as soon as he could reach the pedal. and yeah he is only 21 but gets it.

not gonna change a ton on the boat, mostly just redo some things to make sure it safe and reliable. single biggest upgrade will likely be steering, the old morse dual cable deal is done and will have to be updated.

Nice score for only being 21

 

[SoCalZero]

Nice! Similar colors to my 21.

it is. and except for the carb jetting needing to be changed (boat was used at a higher altitude) you could put it in the water today.

however......it is a 40 year old boat.......that said, with winter right around the corner, it will get some upgrades in the off season. already mentioned the steering concerns me, and a few other things that are original that simply du to their age, are going to be replaced.

no secret here, previous owner was firm on his price and based on the activity there was a line of willing buyers. it all boiled down to who showed up first with the $$$ and hence the reason to rush to get up there. The owner took a call right in front of us while we where there, another potential buyer willing to fly in and buy it the same day. he said "you can have it of this kid here right now doesnt take it"............
