I have had this boat for about 10 years. I replaced the engine with the correct 165hp GM block from Jaspar Marine Division (it is a marine engine, not a rebuilt truck engine) and had the outdrive rebuilt by All American Marine (specialize in Mercruiser). Once I had it running well, it was time to give it a coat of paint. I sanded the whole boat, primed and gave it two coats of Interlux Perfection flag blue and Artic White. The paint is holding up well, but I do use the boat. I also had the interior redone, matching the original pattern. The boat comes with a bikini cover and full cover both in good condtion. The boat easily hits 50MPH and is a blast to drive. The boat's original trailer is in good working condition with buddy bearings and new tires.
