I recently acquired a 1986 Sou'wester 21, with original year Yamaha 175 and a 2004 EZ Loader tandem axle trailer.
So in finding this website, I hope to get info and advice from time to time. My plan is to restore the boat into a good working order and put it into service as part of my already existing fly fishing and light tackle guide business in Ches Bay and the Mid Atlantic region. The purpose of this second guideboat is to give my clients a better ride running inlets and late to extended season service in Ches Bay and CBBT.
First off, the engine runs good, the hull was immaculately kept without nary a scratch on the bottom or anywhere, and the floor is solid and stays bone dry underneath ! The steering linkage is mechanical and needs lubrication. The wood is gray and needs cleaning, and most importantly the fuel guage does not work and it is unknown to me what is the gallonage of the aluminum tank. And lastly the tachometer needs replacing as it will max out with any significant advance of the throttle. Other than all of that everything looks positive
