      Hi Paul,
      Thank you for the reply and the pictures. These are absolutely beautiful boats. Both engines are new, not rebuilds and I don't know about whether or not the salt water runs through the engine block. I doubt it, as the boat was re-powered here in FLA. I will definitely check that out though. I'm still curious about the wood issue though. Are these solid fiberglass boats as I have heard and read? I'm especially concerned about the stringers, especially with salt water. If the stringers are solid core fiberglass, I'm a happy (and less nervous) camper! Also, any advice on where I might find a .pdf manual, brochure, or catalog on this 1980 boat. I just can't seem to find anything on this year CC when I google it. Thank you again and I will keep you posted on my progress.

      Regards,
      Joe
