Thanks for the speed/fuel info Larry. I assume at 8-9 knots hull speed you are getting about 1 MPG? How is the ride offshore at that speed?
Hope you are having fun this summer with your boat!

We also have our 1979 60 EB for sale now in Southern California. Will post pictures later. She has stabilizers, 4 kw inverter, Sat TV, Two 15 KW genertors, good electronics package, 14 ft. Novurania with davit on the bow, new watermaker, new atlantis freshwater heads, etc. She just completed a 3,000 mile trip to Mexico and back and didn't miss a beat. Only reason we're selling is we are moving up to a 65.
We are most likely moving down to a 29 Everglades Pilot. We love the boat but for now we will get more use out of a boat on a trailer. Thanks for the nice comments.
could you post or link more pics?
I have to take more pics. If I do not get down there this weekend I will get it done the next.....
According to the broker's powerboat guide (bible) there were 125 built, most with enlcosed bridge.
The engine room certainly is a mechanic's dream, it's the easiest engine room I've ever seen as far as reaching things without standing on your head, and the feature that sold me on this model in the first place. You can walk (bent over, but walking, not crawling) all the way around outboard the mains.
They're great sea boats too, very comfortable under way and good in rough water. Tons of room and an easy motion.
We love ours.
Tod, That boat at that price is one heck of a deal even in today's market. Not sol ong ago there was a thread we participated in which put those boats' value at $400-600k. I wish I were in the market for a bad a$$ fishing boat because I'd be on my way to your doorstep! I wish you the best of luck in selling her and getting whatever suits you and your family's current needs.
Actually the price is even cheaper as I just made a deal to purchase a 26' Southport so the next 225K can have her at a more than reasonable price......
