New Guy From Maryland
« on: August 18, 2016, 10:46:53 AM »
Greetings all! I wanted to briefly introduce myself and say thanks for letting me join the community.

I recently purchased my in-laws 1989 AS Advance of which they are the original owners. My father in-law maticulously maintained it and kept amazing records but it has been sitting for three years. During the initial inspection I noticed one of the manifolds is cracked and both are severely corroded inside (lots of brackish use). So, my first project is to replace the manifolds and risers and get the ol' girl running. Where should I order the parts?

I look forward to many more years of use on the upper Chesapeake Bay with my kids enjoying my wife's childhood boat!

I have access to all kinds of manifolds, (except the Commander SS manifolds which are obsolete) Fords have fewer options, Chevys have aluminum & iron manifolds available. I quote and order as needed.
