Right!!!   😆

Is that the vintage when Irwin Jacobs and Gen Mar owned them and the boats could be ordered without motors or trailers or does it pre date that?

The motor is a 1984 model, boat is about the same.   Kept on a hoist under a dock, and is in really good shape.   

The crackhead kid ran it without oil while Dad's health was failing, and toasted the powerhead.   I'll end up owning it eventually, but I'll probably have to claim it as "abandoned" to get titles.  They owe me some money but have stopped returning my calls. 🙄 It has been here since last April.

I love my oil burner.   Burns less oil than the 4 croaker.  😆
