I got one of the GPS ones from Amazon, works great so far. Only had it in for a couple weeks though, so time will tell.

Last one I promise. It doesn't look all sleek and fast like a lot of others on here but it will do for a first boat with a little work.

You will have her looking good and water ready in no time.

That 2 tone blue is really gonna look great once it is polished up. Nice color combo.

Well she will need some love but she could come back to life with some work. You can get all of those letters and decals from your dealer. Mine has them in stock. I would wet sand her first. That looks like a Alpha 1 drive.tuff to tell upside down.lol

You can get her back onto shape HH. When you see the work others have done on there boats here on the forum you'll realize it is a diamond in the rough.

Hog be sure to document what you do as you begin the restoration process. Take lots of pictures and keep all your receipts. I have a portfolio I keep a journal in with all documentation. When it comes to sell you'll be glad. Try to write everything down. Start a thread on it and take us all along! There will be things you won't be sure about and many of us here have been in your same position. We can help you save a buck here and there or drain your account!
Thanks for the pics!

Agreed! She'll clean up nice with some TLC! Looking forward to seeing her come back to life

Where would be good place to start a thread on that when the time comes?

I would start it in the
older boats and series 190-360 section.
