Well that sucks. Right when it was getting interesting.

Tough to play horseshoes with no horseshoes.

But....we have a winner :cheers:

Believe it or not...It was a 1979. Scott and Seabob were the closest, Seabob deferred...so Scott, congratulations! PM me your address bro!

Well according to the title I got for it last night its a '76!

I happened upon this website while doing research on the boat, great site, looking forward to getting to know you guys as I get to know my new boat! The boat is amazingly clean and in great shape. The transom and stringers are in excellent shape, I hope to take it out this evening. The only problem is the fuel tank will probably need replacing, it is currently running with a portable tank.

The livewells are interesting but how will it affect the boat while on plane? They seem custom made as they follow the lines of the hull perfectly.

The wood blocks were put on there by the previous owner as he was a diver and he would use them to pull his self up and back into the boat.

There is no bildge in it currently either so will have to install one as well.

Any input regarding anything about the boat would be greatly appreciated. Its my first boat, should be great for cruising beautiful Santa Rosa Sound and I really hope that on a good day I can venture out into the Gulf a bit with it.

Welcome aboard JD,  :salut: That is awesome, when I made the post, I had no idea it would become such an interest, and then to have the new owner find our site and post up  :cheers:

She is a sweet looking ride, we must get together one weekend... I'll PM you, check your PMs

PS: Our Game Show Host may have to check the official rule book on this one now??  :lol:

Welcome aboard! Nice boat!

Have no idea why he told me it was a '79. Sure makes more sense from the pics for it to be a '76...Weird.

Anyhow...those are great boats, keep us posted, congrats! Will now go back and review the answers... :lol:

So Marc, guess he's near you? You're right...way cool!
