Nice video, really inspirational. Do you still have the boat? I'm planning to buy 17 Wilson this month. More or less what was the cost of renovation? Does this old 50hp Johnson push the boat well? Ohhh, I've just checked your next video and saw the Johnson's story :) Hope the Yamaha still keeps going.
koolaevah Hi Koolavah, thanks for you nice comment. Still have sparkle but she has not seen the water for a few years as i have been busy on the house, and i have to replace the trailer. she should be back in the water next year, i hope. Yes the yami is still good and well suited to the wilson flyer 17. Cost? can I just say whatever I spent seemed reasonable and I got good value for money. cheers!
You did a really nice job on it and looks brand new!
