Just purchased a 1979 18'Taylor SJD 455OLDS INDMAR, BERKLEY12J. I'm going to have alot of questions. Hope to get educated. Had 2 jets ,a1970 16'Tahiti455, 1976 21'Hawiian460Ford both Harding Marine. Both had I believe 12JC PUMPS WITH INSPECTION covers inside. This one has the inspection cover outside ,with a shield over the pump. Can I put a place deverter on it, how much$$? What,s better elec. or manuel? How much does this hull weigh, less engine. I want to paint it. Can I man-handle it? What is the best way to paint the bottom. How do I prep it ,what kind of paint do I use? What should I look for before I paint the bottom. It's not gouged or real deep scatches, but the paint and primer is worn away down to the brown glass. Is it a bad idea to remove the foam under the deck? The other 2 jets didn't have it. It's nice to have the storage, or shelter sometimes. Thanks ,hope ya'll can bare with me.
