Pick up this little guy off craigslist, came right out of the ladys pool. she had it for her kids to play on/with. The pool guy refused to clean it anymore, so she sold it. $100 (too much?)
Its an 8' 1969 Dolphin, currently registered, with title and new tags.
Actually, it came with a tag for each year, up to 2011. Why register a boat each year that is used in your pool? But whatever.
This is now the newest boat I have ever owned. (closest runner up was a 1967)
Right out of my van
Now then, that has got to be wayyyyy to much of an angle for an outboard. Ideas on how to fix that?
I slapped my 6hp on it for S & giggles. the skeg is on the ground, thats why the angle looks ok. but it comes nowhere near the trim rod.
I gotta figure out how to get that newer style bottom attached- steering cable, to my front attached outboard. Ideas?
It has whats left of a throttle cable, I can figure that out. But how did they shift the thing? Reach behind to engage gear?
Also, think a 6hp will work? Boats rated up to a 20hp.
Think I should fix-up my QD-15 (10hp) or just go for my 73 20hp?
