Questions
Hello..1st off, this is a great awesome boat you have.
I live in Canyon Country off Steinway, and have the same one but 1977.
Vandals ripped out the wiring, stole parts and set fire to interior chairs.
I have been trying to find specs or schematics to no avail.
Any possible chance to look at and take some Close up Pictures of the Motor, wiring, and interior on your Boat, Which would answer my questions, as well as direct me in getting my boat back in the water.
I will be watching this auction on Ebay. With the Winter coming, Hope you receive realistic bids on this, as its value far exceeds Thousands $$$$$.
Thank you again in advance and I apologize for your troubles.
Dan
