Yep,
That's the one I am talking about.
I am working again this Saturday so I might try on Sunday but for me it will be an all day affair. I am about 3.5 to 4 hrs each way plus looking and crawling around time.

Bill,
The one you turned me on to near you is on the short list also.
There is a 76 w/ twin 360's down here that is on the short list.
I just like the 32 ft sedan FB.
We almost bought a 1969 28ft express w/ twin 318's a couple of years ago but just couldn't come to an agreement with the owner at the time.
Again, thanks to all.
The input,help and advice is priceless.

Happy Hunting
I looked for my perfect 37' FB Sedan in Baltimore Maryland
, Ohio
, Louisville Kentucky
and Grand Haven Mich.
Bought the one in Grand Haven Mich. Shake down cruise and maiden voyage was Lake Michigan, Straights of Mackinaw, Lake Huron,
St Clare River, Lake St Claire, Detroit River and home too Grosse Ile. Lots of good memories
and a few bad ones.
Good Luck

I have a 28 Sport fisherman with twin V-6 Crusaders. It gets on plane at 13 knots and runs at 25 knots WOT. That's also considering my starboard engine isn't able to pull over 3K RPM's. (Still trying to troubleshoot that.) The twin screws are invaluable in windy conditions. The only entertainment at a few local on-the-water bars is watching boats attempt to dock in windy conditions. The twin screws makes me look like a pro. Don't let the V-6 scare you away. On the contrary, I think its a bonus.
