nice...
we had that same boat and color scheme back in '87. we appropriately named her "saturday night beaver". great boat, except for the "wood issues" we had with the stringers and floor boards. can you say dry rot!
the previous owner had left it out all winter without a cover, at his mountain cabin and subsequently also unplugged the hour meter. it only showed 47 hours whehn we bought it but the tech said it was probably more like 547? either way, have fun.

That is one sweet looking older boat man, congrats!

The hour meter is correct in this case, and all the wood is solid. When I was shopping for this boat I looked at boats that were only 2 years old that were not in as good condition. I actually did not want a boat this old but this was love at first sight.
