Both nice Cheetah's guys. Wilseya,what year and length is yours?

Thanks

It is a 1975 and it is 18' long with the 455 Olds.

Mine is a 1968 16' with 350 Chevy. What type/size fuel tanks are you running? I'm re-doing the interior and am looking at some different fuel tank options as well as seats.

Thanks

I almost went to Myrtle beach to get that boat myself. When you get it running bring it out to Sandy beach and hang with us. Usually 5 to 6 jets there every Sunday afternoon.
Let me know if you need any help with the pump. Bob

Thanks,will do.Got him waaay down on price.I'm pulling the engine Saturday to go through and check things out.I've got a good bit of SBC parts from old car/truck projects.Mainly needs a little TLC.Going to replace the throttle,shift and place diverter cables.They are very worn. Looking for some saddle tanks and seats.Just got off the phone with Berkeley about rebuild kit.So,hope to have it going in a few weeks.Gelcoat looks great to be factory,going to give it a good buff and wax.Thanks for the invite Bob.

Thanks,Mark

I have a pair of fabricated saddle tanks out of a Nordic. They are aluminum but covered with glass. Free, if you can make them work.
