Still working on her but here she is! I wished I would have taken some before shots..New 20 gauge marine carpet, new windshields that I tinted myself, recess foot control, new painted motor and decals, custom fishing platform. Look where I mounted my GPS! On the console! New hydraulic steering.

That deck extension looks great and same goes for the whole boat!
I have the same boat what kind of speeds are you running and with what prop? I currently run about 55 at 5300 rpm with a Ranker 24P prop.
I have only had it out once and GPS showed 53 and still had throttle left. I had the oiler disconnected, so what is the average fuel capacity for this boats?
Tell you the truth I never have filled mine up to see. I would like to know also if anyone knows.
I think that you can use this formula to determine area....Hieght X Length X depth.
thats really close to mine but mine is a single console. i filled mine up once i think its 25 gallons.
Think its 24 gal,your filling the neck and maybe some in the carbs.
where did you get your windscreens. i am also restoring an hydra sports and i need one. if you could get back with me that would be great!
looking good
wind shields can be had from the company that originaly made them, Custom Mold & Tint.Monticello AR
Beautiful boat!! brings back memories of my 1978 168V, my first real bass boat. Thanks for the photos!
