I resurrected this ole girl with a motor that was going to the dump, not sure why but it was on the scrap pile!
I checked compression at 110 consistent, cleaned the carbs, threw some 99 cent Walmart paint on it and ran it for three hours solid without even a sputter. I forgot how good this ole girl rode in the bay! Unfortunately it's time for a new deck and console, but it will fish.

Greg, you need to get a shot of her out of the water so folks can see the hull. Y'all it's truly bizarre/revolutionary looking. It takes the idea of a tri-hull to the extreme. When I first saw it a few years ago, I thought it was some new revolutionary hull design, but Greg told me she's a 1972 hull. I'd be willing to bet if someone showed up at a boat show with that hull, there would be a BUZZ.

I looked on the other site for pics, but that was 4-5 years ago, I guess they're gone now.
I will get some when I get in from this hitch.

really different front end-bet she's dry riding. Wonder how she handles a good chop. It aint an old Power cat from the 70s?

Cool boat, and nice find on the Johnson 140.

[Gulfcoast13]

That is awesome looking!

[gregr1971]

its an old falcon skipjack, handles chop extremely well, like a cadillac!
