75 Sceptor

[raw]

Photos of my 75 Sceptor, She has a 1981 260 Volvo with a 351. I have had to replace the exhaust manifolds and risers, replaced one power trim hose, new shift cable, new steering hoses, changed out drive oil then found a leaking seal that I still need to replace. Pulled the fuel tank, which was empty and found small chucks of old dried gas, flushed and it seems clean, probably not! The tank is encapsulated in fiberglass which leads me to believe it once had a leak? I will most likely replace it. The Hull and transom is solid with the exception of a small area around the starboard fish box that leaks around the drain plug. The deck has a small soft spot under the fish/cooler box, water leaked around the screws. I have kept her under cover for about 6 months drying out. The hatch over the fuel tank has been repaired and is solid. The hinges for the stowage hatch have been removed and water has leaked in and I will need to repair. The trim tabs are not working, not sure if they can be repaired. All of the gages are original and will be replaced. The trailer is the original one for the boat, all aluminum low profile float-on with a new axial. From what I can tell the boat has many original parts, this may not be a good thing [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
