i am needing help with my 78 mariah. my boyfriend decided to leave me and now i have what was supposed to be our project boat. this is my first boat, but have rebuilt fast cars. the motor in this boat is a 396 bored 30over and needs pulling, the hull is in great shape but i would love to have it painted one day. i would like to attempt to get it on the water this season but again I am clueless and a bit scared to do it on my own. if there is anyone out there that can give me some pointers or contacts i would greatly appreciate it. i live in fort worth, tx.
