Description
Condition: Used Year: 1976
Make: Tahiti


Up for auction is my newly refurbished 1976 Tahiti Cheetah with trailer.   I just finished restoring it and it is ready for the lake! Runs great, never had any major issues with it. Very fast and very fun. Great for water skiing. The restoration was brought on by a tear in the carpet. Figured I might as well hit multiple birds with one stone while I had the seats and carpet out. I have pictures of the process I can email you if requested.   I bought it in May of 2014 from the original owner and since then it has been stored in my garage under its cover when not in use. There are some cosmetic cracks in the gel coat which can be expected with a 40+ year old boat.   Over the last couple of months I have made several upgrades to it: painted the motor, replaced the original starter with a marine grade one, replaced the battery, replaced the carpet, rebuilt the seat bases, added a tool storage area behind the starboard side leathers in the engine compartment, added a little storage area next to the gas tank under the bow, painted the fenders, added a keel guard, remade the fender guards, I still need to replace one of the leathers by the engine compartment (I guess that was the only piece my dog found tasty).   What’s included:                 Berkeley 12 JC series jet drive                 7.5L Oldsmobile 455 V8 engine                 Holley 750 CFM double pump carburetor                 Mallory Electronic ignition                 Stainless steel valve covers                 Electric fuel pump with two inline filters                 Tan bimini top                 API  Marine starter                 18 gallon aluminum gas tank                 21’ trailer with chrome hub caps and a swivel dolly at the tongue                 Hardin Marine exhaust manifolds   It is located in Benicia, CA. $500 Paypal  deposit due within 24 hours of the auction ending. Remaining balance due prior to pick up. Boat to be picked up within three weeks of auctions end. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email me.
