Mr. Slickfish,
You apparently know me, who are you? La Porte is not that big of a place.
Do you still have a Lo pro?
I knew it was a matter of time before someone mentioned Daryl.
I am not going to bash Daryl but this boat still has problems. I have major repair plans for this winter. As far as it still looking good there is not much of the original boat that I bought still there. The bare hull console shell and the motor is about it. I am just making the best of it and having some fun this summer.
CG Wilson,
I would be happy to post some pictures but my boat is a good example of how NOT to rig your drains. This is one of the things I have planned for this winter.
Call email or text me and I will send you photos of what I have. I don't know what part of town you live in but you are welcome to come look at my boat also. I would be interested in any plans you have on this because I am still not sure what I am going to do here either.

Carter I don't know you other than you bought that boat from Darryl. yes I have a 1976. What problems are you having that need attention? I'd like to know so hopefully I can prevent the same problems with mine if it's such an issue that mine needs the attention yours is needing. appreciate your help.
The two major problems are with the deck drains and there is still issues with the utility tunnel. I would not rig the utility tunnel like this one was done. Going from the motor to the sump is the right way to do this.
There are a few things I want to do and undo to just make it right. You mentioned the console being cut. This was a mistake I feel like a monkey on a basketball when at the helm just because it is too low. I plan on glassing in and raising the console six or seven inches. Like I mentioned there are some other things that need to be addressed but these are the big items.
Why don't you give me a call? I would like to get with you and show you what I have and I would like to see your boat too.
