The motor turned out to be a 1956 30HP Lark from what I could figure out. We plan on trying to get it running but I am not holding my...

    Chrysler Valiant

    Hi, I'm new here. I am considering buying my first boat. It is sitting in my friends friends back yard and has been for a few years now.
