I've had a few inquiries as to whether I'd be willing to sell the boat. I am conflicted about this because the boat is part of my DNA: I have been in this boat since I was eight.

Beauty.

BB70 Volvo Penta fuel hose

I have a 17' 1961 Sea Lancer inboard/outboard with a Volvo Penta BB70 engine. My dad bought it new in 1961 directly from Ray Thompson with whom he was doing a business deal. I have owned it since 2004. For various reasons I have not been able to get to Wisconsin since 2003. The boat is stored in a g...
