Is there much interest in the old Chrysler powerboats from the 70's?

I have a 1973 Chrysler 16-ft. bass boat. It's been neglected, and will probably be the next boat I fix. Right now it's ugly as sin.

Re: Chrysler?

My brother has a Chrysler 9.9 from the 80s. Runs great. And after looking at the Chrysler crew website i can honestly say its a Chrysler boat but it has an Evinrude 85hp motor on it. We bought it for the motor so we may have a shell to sell if anyones interested thats if my brother doesnt fall in love with it.

Seasprite, my Chrysler bass boat, above, also has an 85HP Evinrude, the Starflite, a 1972 or 1973 model.

Re: Chrysler?

Well, I have to admit that I painted mine white and silver. I was going to put it on an older classic boat, but it really was about 20hp and 75 lbs. too much for the boat.

I have the same boat but a 1976 that I bought this fall. Put a 1972 85 HP Chrysler on it and plan further upgrades next spring. Now if winter would just end.

Regards,

I have the same boat only a couple years older. It is going to need a full tear down as the transom is getting pretty bad as well as other cracks and such. Unfortunately I was out of the country for a couple of years and the cover tore exposing it to the Michigan elements.

Can I have your bow rail???
