Any that similar shaped painted black with blue or red decal up to very late 70's
Bought the boat used, just wanted to spruce it up current, I could stay original and paint it I guess, but also, since I got it on a deal, the motor works, but the electric to it is not reaching the engine to electric start. So I may end up having to have it rewired as well as a new control box unit.
Thanks, big help!!! The new Ebay ones they have anywhere from $144 to 177 are no good for the older models, correct?
Yes, the previous owner did say it was 12 volts.
)))
Just to be clear the power will be 12 volts regardless of how the ignition set up is.Yes, the previous owner did say it was 12 volts.
IF........the mechanism is not too worn-out???????(controls box)
Thank you so much, all of you, what a great forum! Yes, and the previoius owner gave me a battery. It was tested, but there is a short somewhere, so yes, new box and I will just rewire and overhaul for security. You know how it is, you buy used, the guy is cool, then you find out little trinkets you didn;t know, so I'll just redo it. HUGE HELP FROM ALL!! Here is the boat I got for $1000.00! I know she is a rehanb project, but good bones, Slickcraft 1965. My Dad, back in the 40's used to race for Mercury and Chris Craft. Ironically, we had this same kind of motor on one of his smaller boats, but have always been fond of the Merc products and Iconic look. What goes around comes around in a great way! Later on, my Da always had offshore Donzi's... you can't take the speed demon out of a guy once he tastes it. HA!@
COOL boat!!
Wow, thanks so much Force Power! Above and Beyond, sir!
your welcome
