1981 201 I/O. Only a few made, didn't sell well and ran like crap. Pops said they were to heavy and just made the balance of the boat awful.

Very interesting look back, Thanks
My 96 was a dealer prepped boat, it was done by the dealer as a West Coast Special, this added, hydraulic pedestals, and some other mods that the base tournament didn't come with, I up graded to a EFI instead of the carbed model mercury.
I know the next year I believe they added hydraulic steering which I added later.
