82 Enchanter

Thanks guys. I've owned the boat for about 3 years. It was my divorce present to myself...hehehe. It is orginal as far as I can tell. Let's just say the previous owner didn't take the best care of it. Boat and motor both needed some attention. Everything seems to be fine now. Runs very strong. Just hit 70 gps last week...no chine walk. Here is another pic that I think you guys will like. Taken on Buckhorn Lake..Ontario. DSCN0391.png
 
I have the same one!

I get chills when I see someone with the same exact boat. Man, if you think the previous owner didnt take good care of this boat, you would have had a heartattack if you saw the shape of the one I restored 3 years ago! Its a gorgeous boat. It must be nice to own a boat w/o the harsh elements of salt water. The best of luck with it. Is the motor still all original?
 
As far as I know the motor is all original. When I bought the boat the finish was very dull. Lots of elbow grease with Flitz polishing creme and Zymol wax. Motor had several small problems. Leaking fuel lines...bad water pressure...some guages not working...interior dirty...ect...ect...ect. I think all the previous owner did was put gas in it and go...nothing else. We are very happy with how it turned out. Do you have a picture of yours?
