Hello from Knoxville, Tn

[buck79]

Greetings all. I'm from Knoxville Tennessee and am the proud new owner of a 1986 17' Seville C/B. I've never owned a boat in my life but i think this is a good boat to start out in since it is not that big. Its all original with only around 50 hrs on it, but you can sure tell it is a 23 yr old boat. No rot in the floor and runs as smooth as butter. With a little elbow grease i think i can get her looking pretty good. Anyone out there familiar with this boat? If so i could use all the pointers you could throw at me. I'll post some pics on here as soon as she's presentable. Thanks!:grin:

sounds like a fun boat!

Years ago when I had my fish & ski we would launch at Carl Cowan & fish down to the dam. We trailer to Norris now...much nicer lake imo.

Welcome from a fellow Loudon boater

Thanks for the welcoming. I think if its not raining tomorrow, I think ill take maiden voyage! I'll probably launch from the ramp across from the entrance to concord park, or down northshore by the cove. I REALLY hopee it isnt raining tomorrow!

Finally got the boat on the water today! Had a blast! But i am curious about the bilge. When i was on the water today i lifted the engine cover and heard water coming in the bilge like a faucet slightly open. enough so that i made it a point to hit the bilge pump switch every 10 mins or so and let it pump it out.
im guessing this should not be happening? Thanks all,

Matt
