Man I really want to see the thing on the water as well but it will need to find a new home if it's ever going to be done.

For the Record

This is the reason I'm punking out on the Carlson project. Don't think I can stand another summer boatless. I'm really missing being on the water and along comes this nice lil 1978 Sterling for sale less motor. Am I taking the easy way out? Hell Yes, but I couldn't pass on it and can't wait to put my brand new Big Block in it and ride

 

[Kary]

WOW!!

I would "punk out" for that boat in a heartbeat!!!!
Nice find "wicked"!
Or should I say wicked nice find!!
The scheme is my kinda retro and looks to be a well preserved original right down to the
Trailer.

78 sterling - Rogers Clone

Thanks Kary!
Has a few dings but it's in good shape for a 31 year old boat. The Color is a lil out there but what the heck, install a chrone chain steering wheel and call it a day

78 Sterling Jet Jet


One cool thing about this boat is there were only a hand full ever made under the Srerling badge and they were made just 45 miles away in Martinsville Va.

WOW, the OE gell will take some getting used to that's for sure, but I like it

 

[TheNerd]

Well. I guess I cant blame ya. I would be wanting to get out on the water. What ever ya do, post lots of pics and have fun.
