Its a 1975 Di Marco. I dont know much about the boat. Bought it on Ebay for 1,900.00 came from Santa Rosa, CA. It came with "everything but a motor".
Well In the pic's It does not look that bad but wow! the floor was full of water, and there was holes all over. I am now fiberglassing the boat and about to paint the top 3/4 of the boat. Here is my progress.
Here is when I just got it.

The wiring was fried in the back. I think there was a fire in it. The guy put the rub rail in and used 1inch wood screws and they went through most of the wires...... So I will be rewiring the full boat, after paint.
When I go to the machine shop tomorrow I will take pic's of the engine.
