Default Re: 1970 20' for sale......total refit this winter!!!!

The engine is very strong. All of the cylinders were within a couple of pounds of the target number, but I forget what number that is. I believe it was 125psi, but I'll check the book tomorrow. We have owned the engine the whole time and have had zero problems with it for ten+ years. I replaced the return lines and rebuilt the carbs this season. I also replaced the water pump, housing, and seals about a week ago. The trailer made it from my house to Norfolk, Va without a problem at all. It has new bearing buddies and new light kit. The brake lines need to be replaced and then the brakes would work. I have never had any luck with brakes on my trailers. The gas tank is under the console and is 26 or 28 gallons I believe. The boat had the same tank in it when we bought it so we just upgraded to a poly tank as opposed to the metal one that it came with. I ran the boat today to the inlet to do some bass fishing and I only burned about 1/3 of a tank. I forgot the gps on the charger or else I would have a distance for you. The inlet is about a 20 minute ride from where I put the boat in. The bottom paint is black antifouling paint.
