Nice looking boat, it could be you're boats twin Dave!

No kidding! This one here would make a great classic for somebody not looking to have to do a full restoration, with fiberglass floor and stringers. This one should clean up real nice, much like mine, and the 33hp Evinrude is a great motor, too, with electric choke. Not a speedster on this boat, but rock solid. This one is the Niagara Custom - mine is the base model Niagara.

Those Sun-n-Fun seats make it easy to hold 5-6, if 3-4 are smaller kids. Very versatile. You can fold down the two rear seats and you now have seats for 4, plus the two in the front. (My seats are regular back-to-back lounge-type, but made real heavy and durable.) These seats are really in nice shape. I don't see any rips or tears and the piping looks good. MFG used really durable vinyl in those days.

I scene an 18' MFG last summer that was freshly restored, I liked it a lot and I think that's why. I ended up getting a starcrart as the hull and over all apprentice is similar. She's nowhere near as nice. I just cleaned her up and rock her as is! Maybe after i finish a few projects I'm working on, she'll be next.
