1978 Terry 5.3m
Hello!
Second boat, first was not much to be desired & served as great trainer. 1978 Terry 5.3m, garage kept, sitting dormant since 2003 w/ bad electronics. I've had greatest time going thru everything.. Kinda sorta.. Few more odds n ends & I should be on water & Mercury Factory Certified. I do collision repair & paint professionally so she's in right hands to continue being cared for & preserved.

Congrats and enjoy,she looks good, I always enjoy seeing the older rigs out on the water. All you need now is an old 1978 model year pick up for a tow vehicle.

Careful! I worked for a terry dealer in 78, and we sold a number of them.everyone wound up being returned to factory due to bad bottoms and transom.terry repaired,but I wonder if they all were fixed.look closely at those areas,good luck Jim sheetz

Transom & bottom looks good Jim! Was owned by gentleman who was supposedly sponsored by Terry & this is the boat they wanted him to run. It's pretty solid being from California

Willie Nelson is the cassette

Quick update. Having alot of fun fishing with Terry. Been out 12-15 times this summer skiing, fishing & my only complaints are old fish finders(hard to see) & carpet(vintage astroturf). With all money I saved buying old bass boat I'll use it towards carpet & computers eventually. Right now I'm just enjoying boat & don't really want to start project till it cools down. Everything else has been great until other day somehow front live well fill hose came loose & started leaking into hull. Luckily I caught it in time & made it to shore w 2nd bilge running. The auto bilge did not kick on, so I need to look @ that. Above is photo of all the compartments open to let it bake dry in the AZ sun.
