Well I just picked up another center console. Best friend owns a boat dealership(http://www.oystercoveboatworks.com/) and he picked this up for the motor. He offered the hull and trailer to me for practically nothing!
Its a project but Im going to give it to my 11 year old son. He has a '70s 15' Thunder Bird tri-hull with a 70 Merc that will fly...infact it is to fast for him.
Im going to make this a father-son project, hang his 70 in the back when its done and let him go. I think that motor will put it on plane...maybe 20 mph. As he grows and gets a job I'll help him bump up in HP.
This boat needs some transom work, some deck hatches and paint....T-Top thing is gonna be the first thing to go
The trailer is in great shape!!

Congratulations to you both, good deal!!
Any thoughts yet in the future wanting a 25" transom?
Hate to see you dig into it again.
 
THANKS!!!! Well Im hoping to get away with a plate and some fiberglass for a couple years....then its going to be a full transom job and we'll go 25"

The PO had a 150 OptiMax on it...I jumped on the cav plate and got a little movement, but its not toast just yet
 
Good job. You've got the planning in order.
Just didn't know what "transom work" involved.

Oh, you gotta keep pictures coming!
 
For your son huh? Yeah right! Did you get your wife a new fishing reel for Christmas? LOL

Just messin....I love it!
 
Sweet find!!!!! Could I ask you for a favor? Would mind the next time your by that boat the measure the bow platform(bow cap) from the front of the bow to the front side of that radius. I'm just looking for some factory specs on how long that bow deck(bow cap) platform is. I would truelly appreciate it.

HAHAHAHA!!! Yeah when I pull a project home, its usually the first time she has heard anything about it....I get yelled at once and then its over.

BUT--I have a comfortable motorhome to sleep in if need be!
 
Thats a good looking boat! It looks longer than a 20 in the pics but they always seem to. Thats a nice console as well. It looks a good bit wider than mine.
 
I noticed it has the flat cap. That is one of the best looking model years for the center console IMO. Good luck with it, I am sure your son will love it.

Very cool! I'm only about 45 minutes south of you. When I get this v together we should get together. I've never explored that end of the bay before.
