Went n got the new trailer tires for the trailer I'm getting saturday which happens to be sitting under a tomahawk skimate, today. Getting pretty excited to ad a Tomahawk to the family. Lol it seems like every time I make room in the budget to get to work on restoring one of these old gals I always seem to find another one that I cannot for the life of me pass up. Will post pictures of it this Easter.

The 1988 Formula can be finished fairly quickly but the rest are major projects. I need to thin-out the herd. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I just have knack for finding these little buggers, I guess I can be considered one of the curators if nothing else. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I know my car was not happy with me or the boat on that trip lol. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Tomahawk Offline Senior Boarder Posts: 238 Karma: 15 Thank you received: 2	Shouldn't be waterlogged. They didn't use any foam in the Tomahawk. Maybe a PO added it. Drain holes might be plugged keeping water in otherwise it is a crazy light boat so you would know. That motor will weigh almost as much as the boat.
