Hello, Loren here, (57yo) from San Diego area. My power boating experience is limited to riding around w/ my older brother as a kid in the '70s (gawking at the girls and pretty motors) and maybe 150 hours of pulling my own kids around in circles on toys in the '90s with an 18' I/O-305 Chevy. My wife and I did have some fun travelling across Powell and upriver from Laughlin which is the type of thing I want to do with this now:
1976 Brummett 22', 460 Ford in the middle, 1:1 Velvetdrive straight back to prop.
Big bro who is the boat guy in the family picked it up cheap years ago, did some work, says it sucks too much gas/makes too much noise/and with all that is an underperforming dog, and handed it along to me since my eyes have always lit up every time I saw it in his yard, partly just because I like old stuff.
I think I can make it go. Mechanic experience, fabrication facilities I've got. I'll be having some tech questions related to basic dynamics later.
