ACBS write up on the 78

Post by Lockey14s »

After joining the Antique and Classic Boat Society i was asked to be featured in their blog post to tell my story. Obviously i said yes lol. And it was tough to keep it to a respectable amount of words. But if you want to know a brief history on my old boat give it a read.

That's an awesome story L14s!
Love the 8 track memory.
Nice job on the motor swap with fiberglass build. Not an easy solution but definitely the right decision.

Thank you for posting that!!!

I did do an abbreviated version when i joined this page and the boat was already done. It would have been better and way more detail if i did it when i was working on it.
