I bet it flys.
I gotta say you guys out west have way cooler ski boats. I learned to ski behind a johnboat with a 25 outboard
75 ish mph allegedly
The orange is so close to the stripes on dad's Ranchero the 2 are going to look like a matched set.
Old tanks were not installed. We had new ones made. PO mase a comment about a bad tank coating as reason.
All the upholstery was redone at sometime along with new seat wood.
We removed the back seat and some wood supports to install new tanks. Couldn't get the tanks in. We needed to remove the front. The front pedestal and lower backrest were glued in. This explains why the old tanks weren't installed.
Any way tanks are in. New fill hose, vent hose, fittings and some supply hose.
Doing some digging this hull is not a named model. Referred to as 16'. I find references to the 16' only 57-58. It may not have sold till 60- 61, Title shows first sold in 61. How goid was AZ record keeping in 58-60, did they even have boat licenses then? Who knows.
59 and 60 models were double bubble and Caribbean 17' and 18'

Looks like time for a new oil temp gauge
The only working guages in front are Volt meter and tach.
All the rest are mechanical.
Have oil and temp on engine
Future may hold gps speedo,and electric oil and water.
