Hello, and thanks

Post by N2itive »

I would like to thank the great group of owners in the forum for taking the time to share your tips, tricks and expertise. I've lurked and read alot of great stuff!

I am an avid boater, have been since about the age of 5 when my father would take me for dock walks at the local marina. I guess row after row of gleaming mahogany cruisers had some effect on me (and yes, I'm dating meself). This has tragically led me to a life of boat ownership and all that entails as well as boatkeeping for clients.

Currently I own a '72 CC Coho 33 (steady now, she's not so bad) and am working on a client's '72 F31 FB. She's got a 302 full of milky oil on the port side, and he's moving on to another vessel. It'll be in my yard on Wednesday and I'll be pressure testing etc., but methinks the block is probably cracked. I'll try to post some pictures of this process if anyone would find it useful. Depending on the outcome, I may be joining the ranks of Trojan owners (if you'll have a CC-ownin' type of fella). ;)
She's not a bad boat either, needs lots of TLC but solid as a rock and a handsome boat to be sure.

So thanks again to the members here, and keep safe.

James

Welcome - hope you get a boat you can use (FB-T), rather than work on (W-CC)

:lol:

Date yourself indeed - we're all an average of 25 years old ... in our minds anyway!

Good luck - please post some pix - several guys have 302s that they're working on.
