Hello Everyone

I just got this boat, and while doing some web searches I came across your forum here. This looks like a great resource for new owners like me. I've already read through a few of the threads. There's some good information here that I'm sure will come in very handy.
The boat is a '73 F26 Hardtop. It's been well maintained over the years. I don't have much history on it, but there are only 920 hours on the clock, and everything's super clean under the hatch. The upholstery is new in the cabin, and the seats have been redone as well. It hasn't been run since last Spring when the previous owner passed away. He had it since 1988.
I've owned a few boats over the last 30+ years. The last one was a 1966 16' big block olds flatbottom that I dismantled a couple years ago. This is my first with a cabin. I've always have had ski boats, but this looks like it could be fun. The marina is about twenty minutes from where I live. I'm already planning to spend next weekend on the boat if the weather's nice. Wish me luck
