Wow...that boat looks to be well preserved and taken care of!

As a suggestion...I would look into having some one re-create the original seat foam and recover with some up dated vinyl. Continue the update to all of the existing vinyl covered cockpit areas.

As far as the cabin is concerned...you may want to search the board and check out what "Spookeay" is doing in her restoration of a 27' 'Dancer's cabin/interior from 1982. She's going from the headliner down A~Z.

Post some more pics...you should have fun with this one.

BTW...I bet she runs out nicely with those twin 360s:thumbsup:

Welcome. Been going up to PIB every Summer since 1987....only missed a few.
 
Looks like a very nice 300 weekender. Nice color too, like the yellow and the red Sea Ray offered back then.

Our 210 Cuddy had the interior re-done by a shop in the Ohio-Kentucky area. It was done to look original and it does. Real nice job. I have the paperwork if you are interested. I need to get better pictures but here is one.
 
Nice!
I like the color and the Weekender model (nice swim platform too by ther way)... any more pictures?

I will try to post some pictures for you if I can remember how !
 
Great, we can start a pre-80 Weekender's Club? I notice you have a forward facing only helm seat. I'd like to find one, otherwise I'm going to modify mine.
 
I completely gutted my 1978 30’ weekender. I replaced everything….everything. New engines, upholstery inside and out, laminate, stove, refrigerator, canvas, ect.ect. nothing left untouched. It was a lot of work but the best project I have ever had. I would put pictures up but I am not sure how to.
