Found this 1970 orphan abandoned and sitting in the back of a dealers lot. I was told the old boy who owned it, traded in on a pontoon. Poor guy....one things for sure, he very recently spent a lot of time giving it a work over.
All new paint, wood, complete wiring including modern gauges, fuse blocks, bus blocks, cables, lights and was done right. New steering. Poly fuel tank under port side seat. from what I can see the hull is straight. no big dings, cracks, loose rivets. new wood through out. She has the correct 1970 120hp power plant. The engine and drive look to have been paid some attention. fresh hoses, filters, belt. new oil pan, plugs, cap & wires, coil, fuel pump, mounts look solid, year old batteries, trim pump, starter, alt. and limit switches appear to work, but will need some freshing up. boots look soft and flexable, but will change the gimble, joints, seals and boots. it also has a nice new trailer to ride on.
All and all, not bad for a 45 year old tin boat. after some massaging she'll make a good solid platform for my Great lakes fishing adventures.
dealers photos, will take some more when I get it home next week after they sale prep it.
