thank you to the guys looking at my ad. it is a 1979 ss boat gel coat and hull a original , metal flake is perfect no rough spots , I love the boat but am really a jet boat guy, and here on my river that is what I needi would never part with it if it was a jet. boat and trailer have been garage kept I took it to a dealer after I bought it and had them replace anything that was suspect, including the original shifter the only thing it is lacking , it has no choke , other than that god good.
