Glad to see an old friend still afloat. I worked at he Matthews boat plant in1973. I installed all the fresh water system on this boat, and the toilet system. I also Helped install the engines, struts. shafts, and propellers . I worked mostly on the 56 foot line than the 46 foot models ,but I remember this boat. Some of the 46 foot boats we installed 903 Cummins V8's, and two with Volvo Penta 6 cyl' diesels, but most were the Detroit 6-71's. A very good engine. I'm glad you took good care of her ,and treated her well. My Dad worked there ,after he returned home from WW 2 from 1946 until 1948,then he was a postal worker on a mail route. Happy new year to you ,and I hope you have a good buyer .It would be a shame to see her sitting on a cradle wither away .Take care...
