This is the finest example of this era available. Every part of this boat has been restored. I have countless photos of the restoration process with just as many reciepts. Following are some of the highlights of the process. *Bottom-Barrier coated 5 times with Interlux epoxy and painted with 2 coats of VC17 *Topsides and deck-Proffessionally spray painted a beautiful Forest Green/Cream awlgrip paint *Interior-Boat was entirely gutted, structurally evaluated and reassembled. The stingers were found to be solid, and only a small area of the floor(2 feet square) was replaced (pictures can be provided). An entire new interior was installed including new carpet and a custom pleated cream vinyl interior. The teak ski locker door was also completely sanded, stained and varnished with 15 coats to bring it to a bright luster. There is also a sunbrella cover that snaps into place over the ski locker door to protect the finish. There are other pieces of teak finished the same way. *Upgrades-During the process many upgrades were made. The sun cushion on the rear of the boat came from the factory as three seperate pieces, it was made into one piece and hinged on the aft with two pnuematic cylinders to hold the cover open for easy access to the engine bay. *New custom Sunbrella full boat cover for storage and short hauls which snaps into place. *New stereo with pull out face, 4 speakers, remote and a great sound! *New steering cable *New throttle/shifter cables and lever *New custom black plexiglass dash (looks great) *New plastic manitenance free swim platform (I am currently refinishing the teak Platform) *New swim ladder *New brass prop plus an additional brass spare prop *New hydraulic trim tabs with remote control *New Century decals *New PSS dripless shaft seal that replaced the original stuffing box *New bumpers, mooring lines, anchor and anchor line *New stainless rub rail and screws which were all chrome plated and polished *Completely rebuilt 440 Chrysler engine (Just picked up from the shop on 06/07/08) Spent $5,169.00 Has 1 year warranty from machine shop. The following components were included in the rebuild: Comp roller timing set, Comp roller cam, Comp valve seals, Fel Pro rings, Fel Pro gaskets, Edlebrock intake, New set of 424 P.40 pistons, Chrome valve covers (still have factory covers), New rods, Complete valve job, ground crankshaft, new bearings, bored cylinders .40 over, new valve guides, milled heads and much more. This job was done by a local machine shop (G&S Machine Shop) that does fantastic work and has a great reputation. *Trailer-The trailer was sandblasted down to bare metal and repainted green. A new axle was put in and moved back for better handling at the highway speeds. There are also new tires, fenders, rollers and carpet on the fender steps. If you are looking for a showboat then this is it! This boat is a real head turner and is a very rare piece in this condition. Anytime I have pulled it people always think it is a new boat that is a retro style. They can not believe it is a 77 model. I have reciepts for over $20,000 that was spent on the boat. I also have the original service manual for the engine and many other documents. If you have any other questions please call 479-841-6718
