Well, heck, John, I've picked up boats that good and just headed straight for the lake. LOL I find that enjoying the boat on the water, even in a lack luster condition, helps me focus on the (eventual) restoration. Sometimes that backfires though. I just clean it up and use it for years.

Great find! Have fun. I'm excited to see more photos.

Looks like a nicely styled boat, the motor, I'm 99% sure, is a 1969 certainly no older than that.

Great looking boat John. Can't wait to see the restoration pics as it comes along.
