Hello,
Please forgive me for not using the correct terminology, or any other mistakes I have made writing this ;)
I am now in my third year of owning this rare boat I call Loosey. It is a 1982 Champion 16'8 Swift, with a 1984 Evinrude 150 V6, with an Apollo 14" 21 pitch stainless prop (no jack plate yet) and front and rear fuel tanks (about 30 gals total capacity). Loosey is blue with a ton of sparkle and white interior, I would post pics, but the pixels count is too big. I'm working on how to figure out post pics for everyone. This boat is not perfect, there are flaws in the gel coat, the interior is not original, and the gauges don't work. But it floats, doesn't leak, and the motor runs great! Also it has an aluminum transom. One day I'd like to get it back to original. Loosey is a really fun boat, and pretty fast too (mid 50s with current prop)
Things I'd like to get done:
Rewire the boat so I have functioning gauges
Replace the gauges to white bezel, to match the interior
A Jack Plate
New Prop (suggestions welcomed!)
Replace the transom back to stock
An original Champion Trailer (Current trailer is kinda rough)
I have what i think is the original HIN on an old title, and would like to get more info on the boat.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I'll post more as I go on this journey
