Default Re: New to me 78 Seavettte 23

Hey Steve, not sure this thing belongs in the same hemisphere as yours - yours is surely the sweetest of all the Seavettes ...maybe after Strick's done with it, heh, heh...

I wonder if you have any pics of yours through the restoration process?

This one is in pretty rough shape and I'm probably in over my head but I'd love to see whats under the caps, etc., this thing has copper tubing for the Hynautic steering which I can already tell is gonna be a bear to revamp. Floor is petty shot, a couple of hatches are missing, the control cables are shot the, haven't looked at the gas tank yet but it looks foamed in on the sides - hopefully not on the bottom...

Big, thanks for the insight on the motors. I had assumed they were '83s based on the Merc placard "6392684."
Seller said the were '84s.

Terry check your PM Tuesday for my contact info. You're certainly welcome to take a peek when you're out here. Love to hear your thoughts the restoration and hear more about your 21.

Just a quick note, the windshield and cuddy cap seems to be independent of the gunwale cap. They seem to be screwed together with a lap-joint much like the gunwale cap to the hull. Any thoughts or knowledge confirming this observation? At first glance it seems like this could easily be a convertible 'Vette.
