Just Bought a 1978 Cary 50
May have bitten off more than I can chew, but anyone know where I can find some upgrade parts (boxes,seats,etc.) or just general accessories? Thanks in advance

It's a 50 express.....I think.....Ha. I have 0 experience with these types of boats. I bought it from a very long time friend of my grandfathers (deceased) and he was getting rid of all his toys. He rigged it with twin Detroit 60 series diesels with custom oil coolers and a bunch of other stuff I know little about. The boat once belonged to Red Adair and "Miss" Jesse Williams (real life best little whore house in Texas lady). With all that said it's a '78 and me being 36 years old would like to do a little updating to it. Overall nice boat though. Will try to post some pics if possible.

People often identified Red with speed. He drove a red MG convertible that was the fastest thing on wheels. Red also had a 50-foot Scarab speedboat with three 420-cubic inch engines.

Post some pic's and ask what your looking for on the correct forum, you will get help.
I seriously doubt you bit off more than you could chew but if you really feel you did then this is the place to move it.
Welcome aboard.
See ya,
Kelly

Not that it matters but I have the title history on the boat. When I get back to the office I'll let you know wat he had it registered under. I do know for a fact that getting this thing transported has been a pain in the ass so far. Leaving in the morning to head back to Texas to remove wheels, enclosures, etc. What forum sould I be posting this under? Thanks in advance.

I know the headache of a long distance purchase.
I contracted a purchase in January and wasn't able to get my surveys/seatrial until mid May due to the long winter they had.
Getting the boat from New Hampshire to Texas was the easiest part of my transaction thanks to OSO member Pat at OSP tranport. If your looking for a good service and he's local at the moment you can't go wrong utilizing his service. He's based up in Maryland but hauls boats all over the northeast and southeast. He quoted me right to the minute when he'd be at our marina over 2000 miles away 2 days prior when he picked up the boat. WOW !!!
Post some pic's, we'd love to see this boat.
See ya,
Kelly
