Hi Guys, I bought a boat site-unseen at an auction that was on a trailer I wanted. The boat is a '78 CVZ, 18 foot I believe based on my measurement. It has an OMC V-8 in it. The inside of the boat is disgusting! The floor is like mulch and the seats are pretty gross too. I have no idea if the engine runs. I actuall...

Kirby · Kirby

Well it is a start, with the way my barn is set up it was just easier to build a structure around the boat to split it, than to try to use the steel structure over head. I am open to suggestions or ideas, if any body has some.

Almost lost one of my tops once hitting a quartering wake at 60 which you never want to do ask my friends head. Made straps from my Halibut fishing gear and small stainless half loops. Dr. Lucky Doom

Chad "silver scimitar" brought his boat down this week-end for a floor, stringers, transom mod. I figure this may be my last scimitar project, other than my own, unless I sell it, don't make much difference to me, I'm getting tired, it's been a good run.

Dr Doom · Dr Doom

New tow vehicle to haul the Wallet Slayer to the lake or sea. 600 horse seems to work better than 300 horse on the hills.

Kirby · Kirby

I have a pretty good idea, just wanted to see if I could squeeze a pic or two, of that silver scimitar, and see how it was coming. Have a good one!!

Kirby · Kirby

Well here she is. Pulled in my driveway this afternoon around 3:30. Lots of work ahead of me!!

Dr Doom · Dr Doom

GPS Speedometer for pulling Air Chair, Sirius Radio for tunes anywhere, Chart Plotter for getting home in fog and to know where reefs are. I hit one back in 1988 ' OUCH ' and two camera positions one on front of roof and a tall adjustable one on tow station.

Wzevon · Wzevon

Hi to all, I really cringe to call myself a newb but I guess in this crowed that's what I am. I am wondering if some of you fine people could clue me in to the cliff notes of the problem areas of scimitars. Ergo what to look for when buying and what repairs to address once you own. I am just starting to s...
