If you decide to go Ford, hit up 2ManyMustangs, he's a Ford fanatic

Great Boat, I had exact boat for several years before I went to my 77 Sanger, my sister actually has the 19' now. slight v bottom I think 2 degree, great running boat and turns good as well, the chines are the ticket for the way it turns, I could out turn similar Sanger flats. Now my 77 will turn inside the 19 though

Have fun really miss the 19 especially as the kids got bigger.

We're you at the shop last Saturday?
YES!! Unbelievably excited to have her.....my dad had a 73' Sanger and he sold it quickly when my parents divorced and I was upset seeing it leave! Sanger Bubbledeck are very near and dear to my heart! I've been counting the days till Bob gets back so I can see her again..... No I didn't want to leave her..... Silly as I am!

@Sanger Spectra-Great story and how cool your sister has your old boat, keepin in the family goodness! My understanding of ours is she has a 6 degree v, so learning as much as I can about her!

Were you there on Saturday when we came by?

YES!! Unbelieveably excited about this boat, my dad had a 73' in which he sold shortly after the divorce and I was devasted to see it leave! When my husband told me about this boat that he found and showed me pictures he took with his cell phone, I couldn't believe he found a Sanger painted similar to what I had! Sanger Bubbledeck have also been near and dear to my heart! Nope.....really didn't want to leave her that weekend and counting the days until Bob returns and I get to see her again!

@Sanger Spectra-Great story and very cool that you were able to keep your old Sanger in the family! Ours has a 6 degree V and I think with a gullwing bottom, trying to learn everything possbile about the her!

I love the look of that deck and the way it is painted on the exterior... Looks killer!!! Kind of classy and nostalgic to highlight the bubble deck...

I would throw any old BBC in her and get it in the water as quickly as possible, THEN decide what else you wanna change in the next off season...

That is unless you have some bad azz blown mill tucked away in the back corner of your garage...

just as is...

YOur POPs 73 looks cool too, I like the logs/exhaust... I assume you have had some good times/memories in that boat...
