I brought her home this weekend after winning the EBay bid and I am not disappointed. The boat is all original and I purchased her from the 2nd owner who only had her for a couple of years. The boat was stored inside all of her life apparently only taken out a few times a year on a western NY lake. She started right up and appears to be fine mechanically. The gelcoat is faded and chalky, but is original. I will work like hell to bring it back rather than paint it. I like the idea of it being original. Any suggestions on products to use would be appreciated. The interior is original and in great shape with the exception of a couple of tears in the top of the seats. The top of the engine cover was replaced with a piece of plywood, I don't know if it was originally teak, but that is what I think it might have been and I will find a piece of teak to replace the plywood. If anyone can steer me to a Mercruiser manual for the 120HP 4 cyl. motor or at least let me know the manual #, that would be helpful.
