Well we finally found our boat. We have been looking for a long time to find the combination of price, condition, hull style and year. So we have moved from a mid 70’s 20’ CC Make to a ’96 272 Sailfish.
Brought it home over the weekend after a South Carolina to Florida short vacation with the boat in tow and things seem good. Prior to picking it up we had new pumps / T-stats installed and carbs cleaned and rebuilt. Over the weekend my son and I went through the waste system – Macerator shot –pulled and discarded – not allowed here. Tank cleaned and resealed. Fresh water tank pulled and entire system flushed with a 10% bleach solution and reassembled. Interesting to note starboard side tank clips not engaged into the notches of the tank .. Overall the hull seems to be in very good shape – Going to start the three step process on the hull this week. Any secrets to cleaning the Stainless Tubes on the hard top – some pitting up high lower sections are in great shape.
This forum has been of incredible help in the purchase and decision making process. Thanks to all those who put the time in.

Note - How do I post photos ? Do I need to have them hosted on the web first?
