Getting my 1968 20' SF back on the water

Thanks GG,

Yea, I havent updated too much on her, if it still worked, I kept it.

Well, IT LIVES! Got it on the water yesterday though not without concerns. Waterpump would initially only register pressure in the water and not on the earmuffs, it is a new lower unit.

Felt so good to get it floating again. Its a 20min ride to the river from my house and it was choppier than h3ll so rather than take it out there, I quickly got her up on plane behind a mangrove island in my canal for about 3 seconds, its no wake but I had to Its amazing how quick these hulls jump up on plane even with only a 130.

Before I can do some serious boating, I need to get the gas tank clean and install a water seperator, fix the bilge pump, fix bait well pump, fix lights and just give her another good cleaning.

keep you posted
