Hello All,
I am looking to purchase a 1979 260 Weekender. Couple of questions: 1. What are the performance characteristics of this boat? It has the single 350 chevy with an pre alpha drive. I tapped on the transom, around the gimbal sounded fine but as you tap out the sound gets hollower, is that the sign of a bad transom? Stringers are sound! Does a stainless prop usually help performance on this big of a boat? It does not have the back cushions, does anyone have the dimensions for those so I can get some made up as close to original? Anything else I should look at before looking to purchase this boat? Thanks for your help, looking forward to being a Sea Ray owner any day now!
