Default My first boat
Had to workin it for a few days but drove it today and it did pretty damn good, only hit about 40(or so the speedo said) but it is a 71 sea ray with the old school GM I6 by mercruiser, i am sure a 5.3 can bolt into place with a carb when i want to

Not anything fancy but it is a good time!

O think PM is why the boat is a 71 and still runs good, if not this thing would have needed allot of money to get going again, i just tinkered with plus, wired and points along with a little attentiong to the small stuff.

I think that paintjob will set it off. If you get a chance, come on over to TexasHotBoats.com, I'm a moderator over there..CorDog009. We have members all over the place. Any and all boaters welcome.
