1974 MFG Super Gypsy

[wrmdunker]

Hello All,

Have a 16 foot Super Gypsy that I have had since 1993. Floor rotted and so did the stringers/ribs. Too much work for me to take on so I am going to let it go. Not even considering placing on Craigs List. Have had it garaged (fortunate to have an extra garage) and now need the space. I removing the motor and controls and will be taking boat to the landfill.

I have restored my old Starcraft so I know there is an interest in parts such as windshield, bow rails, steering wheel, rub rails, corner brackets, etc.

I have it tarped so am posting some old photos so you can see what I have and we can go from there. Sorry that these are the best pics I can find right now.

Please post or PM me if interested.

Re: 1974 MFG Super Gypsy

woosterken, these pics were when I bought the boat in 1993. She still looks good and wasnt trying to mislead anyone. Yes, I am sad to let her go. Raised my kids with lake fishing trips to Canada and tubing the local waters.

It was restored and painted just before I bought it and did not have the emblems then. When I did my Starcraft, I bought vinyl die-cut off Ebay. Very cheap but I understand the desire to get OEM. I have a contact that can make anything you want if interested. He also did my motor cowling decals.

WD,
I didnt think you were trying to mis lead any body
its ok, to bad you cant you cant get the crew in the picture stoked up to restore it , for the memories.
the search for the oem emblems, is (on my part) just for spares , mine are still in good shape .
my thought is they are just at the right place ,that if not very carefull ,the dock can bite them
my boat is still all original.

this is my son last year,new state park launch ramp , portage lakes
