I have a 1978, 28' Uniflite Mega. Like I said earlier, pretty much original and not too much hacking on it. I, however have and will continue to upgrade. This year a new head, holding tank, marcerator etc. complete with a fresh water tank for flushing the head. I can then seal up one more through hull as I won't be flushing with salt water anymore. Less stinky too I'm told.
