Hey everyone
I've been looking at this forum for a couple of days and I wish I found it when I bought my boat. I found you guys while doing a google search for interior cushions...
My friend, who I will be convincing to also join this forum, has owned a 1976 F26 for a decade, more or less, so I have been a Trojan lover for quite some time.
I am the new owner of a 1976 F30. I bought her in August, had her hauled home and had the motor replaced (440 Chrysler). The repower took longer than expected and she didn't get back in this season. Needless to say, spring can't come soon enough. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is this grocery list of things she needs between now and then.
When I get a chance, I will photobucket some pictures to share and start posting some of my questions, thoughts, ideas, etc.

I had another 440 long block built (block was junk) and bolted it up to the brand new manifolds/risers the PO had bought this past spring. Also had the heads completely rebuilt as well. Pretty much all new/rebuilt. I just have to replace belts/hoses/maybe a wire or two in the spring before I launch.
