Get a drive shower for that drive before it starts looking it’s age!

Just looked and I actually don’t have one
. Here’s the bravo 1 outdrive. I’ll get one tomorrow.
Looks clean! Can't wait to see the inside

Nice to see that they thought out the lip above the out drive better on your model than on my 272 of the same year!
Looks like a great boat! Hopefully the biggest issue you’ll have with it is scheduling it between you and your friends!

Interior is in rough shape, but that will be getting attention this off-season.

Which drive shower do you recommend or is there just one specific brand?

I got a Simrek, no drilling, installs in 5 minutes.

Simrek for sure. Super easy to install.

Love that motor, looks like thru-hull exhaust, without captains call?

I believe that’s correct. There isn’t a switch to divert the exhaust.

Check under the console, to the right. Mine was obscured, hanging out with the kill switch. I didn't see it until I was on the floor some weeks after I bought the boat. It's just a non-descript silver throw switch. I can't imagine they'd do it any differently for your boat - what's the point of having the option to route the exhaust through the prop or the hull, without having the choice?

If you look at the pic it’s clear there is no captains call, just through hull.

Right ^^^^^
However, what is up with the 8 hose clamps on the starboard exhaust hose? What's going on there?
