Wow!!!

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Buff and some marvel down the holes she should be up and running in no time

 

[SoCalDave]

How cool is that!

 

[Dunerking]

Wow!! Great story and look forward to see it restored and hopefully staying on top of the water! I bet that thing had to move back in its prime!

 

[Marios Metalworks]

This is going to be a great story. I wonder what they’ll repower with!?

 

[rivermobster]

Wow. Amazing story.

How cool for that family to get that boat back!!!

 

[JayBreww]

Did they keep the trailer this whole time?!

 

[4Waters]

They need to join and start a thread

 

[WhatExit?]

Cool story. Glad to see #RDSUX listed

What HP were those eggbeaters - now they could just run one 450

 

[dezrtracer]

What a great story . Hope to see it fully restored .

 

[bonesfab]

That's some cool shit right there. Especially since the family got it back and is doing something with it. Twins on a boat that small back then??

 

[QC22]

Super cool. Looks like a Horizon 18 although I don't recall them making any OB powered. Other thoughts on hull?

Why wouldn’t you just rock another pair of fresh TOP’s?

You wouldn’t?

Wow!

Amazing how the steering wheel switched from port to starboard side while under water. Is the first picture reversed?

 

[JayBreww]

You wouldn’t?

Not over 40 years. That thing would either be scrap or converted to a utility trailer!
That thing got passed down 3 generations if it’s the original.

First one is reversed for some reason? Check out the Mercury logo on the whackers

Motors 40 years ago were WAY lighter. Highly doubtful they could repower with twins now.
Very cool story!

Well I’m assuming fresh 40yr old engines aren’t easily refurb’d but I don’t know shit from shinola when it comes to OBs so there’s that

 

[EPL]

Great story !!

 

[ElAzul]

Hope a splash guard is in the future works that thing sits like a long tail

 

[pixrthis]

That is rad

New boat name: the bottom feeder

 

[J DUNN]

Did they find "Knockers" while they were down there? lol

 

[rmarion]

Damm SURFBOAT!!!

 

[Desert Whaler]

Awesome

 

[HST4ME]

[MARCYTECH]

When boats lie on the bottom for a long time the steering wheel moves to the other side. Basically just like a halibut eye.
