    Here are a few pics and vids. (Removed the name as lettering didn't work for me.)

    Major thanks to Adam at Saccenti Marine and to Sunkin for getting us hooked up!

    351 Cleveland engine pics to follow (on old computer) but thesound in video is nice.

    Beautiful boat, sounds great in the vid.

    Not sure about the "64" tag? Corsican # 1 was a black boat which I believe was built for the NY boat show in 68.. Currently residing in MD..

    Yeah - thought about it - it's a 1969. As in life and sex I came before my time! Ha!

    Will dig out the number and engine pics. If you like the vintage performance...you will like the pics.

    I think I can add a little to this thread. I am Adam as mentioned in the first post. I am no longer doing business as Saccenti Marine, Shook Marine I guess. Anyway, I have the details associated with this project. This was from a couple years ago.

    It was a lot of work. I’ll try to hit some of the highlights here. The project kind of got completed in reverse order. It had a fresh coat of paint on it when it arrived at the shop. The owner wanted to do a few things to increase the reliability and performance, add some tunes, refresh the upholstery, canvas, etc. Nothing to major. Here are some shots of it as it arrived to the shop.














    As these projects often go, every time a can was opened, worms were found. The scope grew quickly.

    There was a transom pickup scoop mounted on the hull bottom. I can’t imagine what the block pressure must have been with this setup.

    There were some stress cracks imitating out of the corners of the transom assembly.

    The strakes had cracks longitudinally along the hull bottom.

    The engine was coming out for performance upgrades. Noticed broken engine mounts. This was the better of the 2 sides. The other side was nearly broken off. The engine had dropped and was sitting crooked.

    The engine mounts were broke partially because the wood and fiberglass engine supports were rotted out. The fiberglass was cracked and the wood underneath was wet and crumbling. I think it had taken some pretty hard landings through the years as well.

    Further investigation after the engine was out showed quite a bit of structural issues. There was all kinds of delamination. All in all though, not too bad for a 40 year old boat. to Donzi!

    As this point I decided it was going to be quicker and easier to pull the deck to do what I needed to do. I’m glad we did. The stringers had cracked loose from the hull bottom for a big portion of their length. There were no fillets between the transition from the hull bottom to the stringers. This effectively kinks the glass and makes a weak tab.

    The lateral bulkhead between the tanks was completely rotted out. This allowed the longitudinal stringers to flex athwartships as the boat flexed.

    Pulled the tanks and everything was rotten. What a mess…and STINK.

    Can’t go this far and not replace the transom. Glad we did. It was not as bad as the stringers, but it definitely had some moisture in it.
