Southwind Out of the Shadows

Just thought I'd say hi and show off the boat I bought about 3 years ago.
1976 Southwind mini day cruiser. 100% stock and plans are to keep it that way with
the exception of a new interior this winter.

Nice freakin find!

I should have included more info, but I was fighting with the picture upload.
I bought the boat from the original owner, who lived in California in 1976.
At some point he moved to the Seattle area (Lake Tapps).
He ended up buying a tournament boat and the Southwind sat in the garage.
As you can see the gel coat is amazing. The metal flake looks brand new.
The 460 runs flawlessly. I did suck up a few rocks the first year I owned it so
I rebuilt the pump. All in all, it's been a great little lake boat for me and the family.
