Ok guys Ive just taken delivery of my new jet boat. 1972 wriedt spoiler 19. 455 olds, berkley 12jc with diverter. The boat is all original and was a one owner boat. It has been in a warehouse since 1996 when the original owner parked it and his family left it there after his passing. I don't know why it was parked in 96 but its been inside since and according to original owners family it was always stored indoors. The boat came with all original documentation packages, build drawings, schematics, dealer info , owners manuals for boat pump and the hardin marine engine has all the original and alot more. Also got boat cover and a few spare parts eldebroc intake. paid 600 for the boat. running condition is not known and boat has no interior. boat has been sitting since 1996.
My idea for boat is rebuild of 455, and pump, new stringers, transom and floor. new gelcoat and new interior. I know it sounds like a big money hole but I like the story behind the boats history I can tell the boat was cared for.
this is a 1/4 stringer boat with full length keel support. I plan to build it into a full length stringer. I'm in Birmingham and there is a local boat shop and the last 40 years this shop specialized boat restorations so the hull will be going to him for restoration.
I included several pics of boat and some of the paper work that came with boat.
What do you guys think about this boat and let me know about your ideas. Thanks
