looks like a 76ish challanger to me. Has the same rear transom as mine and pretty close to the same seats with the same e pump.

yeah the gel looks nice.  give it a nice waxjob and looks like it'd be done.  did it have a hatch originally?  i see some vent holes on the sides... start a build thread in the project forums once u get going with all kinds of pics!  we love pictures!  congrats and look forward to seeing your build come together.

the boat was repainted some time ago in imron or awlgrip at my job so yes it just needs a wash and some wax. i don't think it ever had a hatch but the holes you see in the aft deck by the fuel fills are access to the fuel sending units.

boat is a 1975. maybe you can answer a question for me. i have yet to look to see if there is a tag on the fuel tanks and i was wondering how big the tanks are. what have you done to battle the ethanol issue with the fiberglass tanks, did you install bladders or cut out and install new aluminum tanks, or do you not have ethanol in your fuel in your area. in my state fiberglass tanks are now illegal by coast guard regulations, so i am thinking of maybe a pair of cyndrical tanks they use in dune buggies that i found in my Hot VW's magazine. they make them in aluminum and stainless steel polished. this is just a thought but i can also have them custom built by the company we use at my job. they just are a lot more expensive. what kind of power do you have in your boat and what kind of speeds to do you see out of it.

those headers and tailpipes in your pic are those gil headers with custom made tailpipes. i am thinking of trying to find a pair of those headers but instead of going through the transom going over and using a pair of mufflers at the tips. have you ever seen that.

i think if i find a set of tall risers that i should be alright going over the transom. the boat came with bassets but they are not in the greates shape and are kinda rusty and loud as all hell. i would like a setup like you have but being on my budget i might just run the basset's this year and later change over.

ok so i was able to go down to my shop and roll the boat out and give it a much needed quick scrub. you saw how it looked right after i unwrapped it well here is how it cleaned up and looks out in the sun. this all without me waxing or painting the bilge and redoing the rigging. i have to start a build thread but this will do for now.





 
you can see where whatever type of animal ate up the seat piping and vinyl on the front seats. not a big deal.

Cleaned up very well.
