I have the same exact boat in a 1977 model year, no placard on mine.

Where is yours located on the boat?

Welcome to the forum!! First off, the only thing that makes one of these boats unfixable is your budget!! :lol: There is much great advice, and many here have more experience with this than me, but I would offer this advice: Get a knowledgable surveyor to perform a pre=buy survey. stringers and deck...

Glad it went well and you're in!!

Now if it would just quit raining up here, your flood conditions would go away.

Thought I would post a couple of pics of the cockpit and foredeck after re-core and paint. Catching was no good on Saturday, but fishing was great!

Sorry to hear that Todd, prayers and good vibes sent your way!

I have an F26 flybridge with the 351 engine (MC233) it is a 1977 and 1:1 tranny. I am swinging a cupped 14x9 and I am topping out @ 22 knots @ 4000rpm.

I have always assumed that my setup was original stock. It is the toggle switch that is circled.

My line of thought is this is just as secure as a Key setup, all the key switch does is force a theif to take out four screws and twist a couple of wires together.

Check with Bob at Beacon, however I believe it is just an off / on / momentary 3 position toggle switch. I have the same in my F26

Trying to find out what model of American Bosch wiper motor was standard on a 77 F-26 flybridge. My case is unreadable other than I can tell what brand it is, but cannot determine model.

Any F-26 owner know? Thought I would try here before I email Bob.

Thanks!
