I'll try to take more pics but I'll have to e-mail them to you unless someone can tell me how to attach photos to this post. Someone else did the one you see but I'm a newbie at this.

Don't you have a problem with it not running right or something?

jvnd

That's correct at this time but it's minor. Majority opinion was it's the coil or points so I replaced them. The charging problem has been fixed (loose wire). I only have the secondary vacuum module is sticking and I'm working on that. The problem was posted in gearheads. Otherwise no major problems such as motor, rotting, or major cracks or separation. Some minor stress cracks that arose just after I bought it and right after Southwind went out of business. They haven't gotten any worse so I never worried about it. This boat turns heads and gets a lot of compliments from other boaters. Those who don't know their boats think it's fairly new. I ordered this boat from Jerry Van Beek of Boat City fame. It's also registered in Arizona but I'm in L.A.

This boat is called a mini-cruiser by southwind. Possibly because of the two 28 gallon tanks.
