Biggest mistake OR just an expensive oppertunity???

Actually yes! After replacing:
-Distributor Cap
-Rotor
-Plugs
-Wires
-Impeller
-Control Cable
-Bilge Pump
-Battery
-Re-Building the carb
-Re-sealing the supertrapps, I now have a boat that keeps up with anything else out on the water! So much of what the PO had on the boat was wrong it's a wonder it even ran at all. It's been a much, much bigger project then I had anticipated when buying, but I decided no matter what I end up doing with the boat I had to fix it. There was no way I was going to pull the same thing on the next guy that the PO pulled on me. I love the boat, and my wife and kids have never had so much fun on the water. It catches lots of attention at the landings, and have gotten several compliments from people with MUCH nicer/newer boats. You really can't beat the classic look of these boats! For now I'm keeping it, but who knows what the future holds...

I hope you keep it long term as you will be hard pressed to find a boat better than the Saltare.

This is what has kept me going on my project Salt!

Glad to hear it is working good for you!! Throw us up some pictures of the Family having fun!!!
