    Thinking about selling my 1967 Westfield

    Lately I've been considering selling my very clean 1967 Westfield, I haven't yet had the opportunity to use it this year, my other three boats get all the use. The MFG just sits. I may also be loosing my indoor storage for it, and its just too clean to put outside. I'd be selling it minus the...

    MFG Westfield - Latest addition to the fleet!

    Somehow I've managed to add a fifth boat to the fleet here today. A buddy called me early this morning and asked me how is the best way to cut up an old boat, when I asked what or why he wanted to cut up a boat he says he bought an old boat for it's motor and trailer and needs it gone. My first...

    Evinrude 3 vs 4 cylinder mpg?

    Let me start by saying I own a 1965 MFG Edinboro and a buddy has an MFG Westfield. I run a 1990 110 HP Evinrude V4, he runs a 1974 65hp 3 cylinder. We run the same water and the same route, sometimes we take my boat, sometimes his. He had some issues with his motor and recently just did a...

    '77 6hp Evinrude

    I was given a perfect running 6hp Evinrude the other day, it fires up and runs like new, has 115/111 compression and a ton of new parts on it. The coils are new, new water pump, new plugs, new prop, and new recoil rope and handle. The guy that had it was getting it read to use on a small...

    50 & 60hp parts interchangability?

    I was given the remains of a blown up 1981 20" shaft 60hp Johnson twin cylinder. The power head is toast, broken rod and busted up block, crank, and head. I have the chance to buy a 1990 parts motor that runs great but it's a short shaft and needs the tilt ram assembly replaced which is why the...

    Controller wire colors? 8 pin plug pin usage?

    I bought a low hours late 90's Mercury 115ELPTO, the motor was in a center console boat and the guy didn't want to part with the controls or ignition switch so he clipped the harness in the console I that's all I have. I picked up a couple of older controls with no wires and bought new shift and...

    Steury deck and hull construction?

    I have a chance to go get a late 60's or so 14' Steury boat. At this point all I know about it is that it looks sort of OK in a few small phone pics the guy sent me. Being more familiar now with the MFG boats, I like how they have an all glass deck and stringers. Does anyone know if Steury also...

    MFG with keel damage?

    I looked at a second MFG today, this one slightly larger than my Niagara which measures 15' 8" long. The boat looks like a time machine back to 1960 something, the upper and interior is like new other than the lack of seats. The bad part is that the trailer is crap, the boat is sitting on...

    MFG Niagara 14'

    First post, been browsing here for a few months now. I was just given the above boat, I believe it's a 1965 or 66 model. Its in decent shape, no leaks, with some fade and a way too big motor. (85hp Merc 850). It's on a 2007 bunk trailer, and runs great. I added a battery and did some cleaning...
