I've been living at a place with a pool since 2012, and have bought a couple of vintage boats during that time with plans of getting them up and running.

I thought I've also read something on here about manufactures no longer producing modern pan cars due to the interest no longer being the...
This didn't have an outright date on it, but from the contents I have reason to believe it's from 1989. It has some writing on the cover which is interesting about the serial numbers.
