New Predictor owner from IA

Hey guys, ive been lurking on here for awhile, and finally saved up the money to buy a boat this summer. ive always liked the styling and value of older checkmates, and happened to see Acer2428's 81 predictor on craigslist about ten miles away from where i lived. i know i paid a little bit over kbb, but it seems like it is in good condition,and the distance couldnt have gotten much better. this is my first real boat (other than old johns with 10-20 hp tillers on em) so its going to be a learning experience for me, but i consider myself pretty mechanically inclined, being a car and motorcycle enthusiast also, so i hope with your guys's help it will be a good few years working on and restoring this boat. so anyhow, thank you for pointing me in the right direction, and thank you in advance for the help i know you will be.
 
:welcome: I moved up from a 12' Avon with a 30hp Evinrude to my '89 Spectra with a 120 hp Johnson (currently installing a '96 Johnson 150 hp). Though, I've been riding and maintaining my old mans '93 Aquasport Osprey 200 for the last 5-7 years this is MY first real boat, too. :thumb: Good choice going for a checkmate!!! Lets see some pictures when you get a chance!!!
