Re: 1964 Cutter

You might find the Cutter info here interesting. Sounds like it's not likely to be a 1964 Cutter....

But it does look very like the 1959:

There were a few 14' Cutter's offered. But since joining w/ Brunswick, and moving factories in 1960, the Cutter line was discontinued 1 year after the move....

If you can get the serial # on the Johnson 33hp, I'd bet the motor's a 1964, or different '64 motor was on the boat at that time. At some point, the boat was sold, and then a title or registration was issued & the often the motor was much easier to ID & it's year was used. This was the case w/ my FireFlite. It was titled as a 1957, but it is clearly not, looks nothing like a '57. But it's length, beam & transom width and appearance easily match the '60 FireFlite. But it did come w/ a 1957 Johnson motor.

If you're up for a project, it could be a nice little runabout. I would try & get it for $300 or less. Much less if the motor won't fire when you go to look at it. As what looks to be a 33hp electric shift motor, it should be considered a fancy anchor if it doesn't RUN & shift into forward & reverse when you go to look at it.

And ONLY use mixed gas as starting fluid, normal starting fluid will starve the cylinders of the necessary oil & is not healthy for the motor's longevity. AND NEVER run out of water, or off the water muffs....

Interested to see your other project finished too :)

Thanks jb its just a few minutes from my house so I might swing by and take a look. While my wife has been pretty patient with the cluster I already have going, not sure I could sell a second one. But I think its worth a look anyway.

Re: 1964 Cutter

If you thought the StingRay needed work, the Cutter is likely to be worse. Smaller, yeah, easier? Hard to say.....

Does the Admiral's brig over your way have WiFi? :eek:

Be nice to know how both the boat peak & dragging it home turns out...:D


pssst: You need to admit you have a problem before the yard looks like this:
