Hi, I have an '81 180 Marquis Cuddy.

Is yours a cuddy or just the closed bow? The cuddy top cap/deck is a little taller and the closed bow has the same deck height as the open bow design.

What engine do you have in your boat?

Hi im new to this site but i believe i also have a 1977 FourWinns Marquis. i got it 3 years ago and used it the first year and spent all last year gutting it out and rebuilding the stringers, foaming and am now putting the final finishes on the deck before i carpet it.

Sounds like a real job. would like to see pics as mine was already done when I bought it. I sure like the lines of the older Four Winns.

Cool. Thats the best motor option in my opion. I wish I had my back together. It is a great boat. I am 3 years in to a on again, off again transom replacement. I'm not really sure why I haven't finished it. I guess I've been busy. That and I know own a marina/resort and have a few other boats to use on the water.

Very Nice. I'm going to be passing through your area next week. I am making a trip from Montana to Ludington by way of the UP.

Cool. Will you have your boat with you? We are right on the St. Mary's River half way between Sault Ste. Marie and Detour Village. A great boating, fishing and general recreation area.

Is the trip work or fun?

If you get a chance post up some pictures of your boat.
