    New guy...

    Hey guys new to the site and just wanted to take a second and introduce myself. I have a 1977 Taylor SJ w/455 that I'm currently having re-painted back to original. My dad bought it new in 77' and was killed 7 yrs later so I was able to track it down last May and bring her home! I live on Marble Lake in Quincy, Mi and enjoy running the Coldwater/Marble chain of lakes. I look forward to talking chatting with all you!!

    Wow

    Great looking boat. Glad you got her back. Now to make her fly !!!! It really means something to get your dads boat back. My father passed away years ago also , and tonight I am staying the night on my 25 Bayliner that I am re-powering backed into his old shop that he built. Kinda earie sleeping in the boat backed into dads old shop, but have to be up early to work on the boat. Wireless internet is great

    Hope you enjoy the boat.
    Life is too short not to go boating !!!!!

    Boat looks good. Might want to get that young guy that looks ready to drive a cushion. And a jacket. Start em young and do it right. I bought my 3 year old grandson a go-kart that he has already wrecked a few times and, believe it or not, repaired himself, sort of. Good lookin classic. Looks like you are doing it justice. Have a ball.
