The volvo hatches were flat and the TRS boats that came later had the rise in the back for the manifolds. There were optional custom race hatches and some boats with flat hatches had a couple scoops.
Early boats had Teleflex gauges but by '73 they should have had SW.
What hull number do you have?........look under the dash, it should be written?
Would love to see photos?.......if you don't know how to post just e-mail some to me.

Here is a picture of the boat. I already cut down the hatch to make it flat so the picture isn't 100% accurate. We (dad and I) have done some other work to it over the years but like I said, I am startign to get more serious about a more complete restoration.
Both engines are being re-built now and once that is doen and the boat gets back in the water we will start with the interior.

You can call me Mitch.
The Drives are original. We bought the boat in 2002 and one of the first things we had done was the drives. I have a friend whose got a shop in his backyard and he did the work. Actually, I was pretty impressed with how they came out. At this point they are ready for some touch up stuff but they still look great. Here is a work in progress pic. and the final product. Of course the pic. of the final is about 5 yrs. old. but like I said, they still look great.

I will most likely not do this but I was thinking about eventually fixing my floor. It's not original and covered up with some kind of resin. What was the original floor? I have seen some pics and it looks like it was wood.
Also, I do want to change my windshield. I saw a post of yours regarding Don Racine in Jax. Is he still recommended?
Thanks again.
