New Possible Project

[garrett61]

Even tho i am just finishing the rebuild i already have my sights set on a boat. It looks alot like a late 50s mfg I couldnt find any tags on it or identification at all. the only thing is the steering wheel says Tara. Its a 2 seater little powerboat. Ill be visiting the consighnment tomorrow to find out more about it and a price.

Re: New Possible Project

Well come to find out this is a 1957 Glasply Boat. I cant seem to find any information on this boat at all. I will keep looking if anyone hears or knows anything id appreciate it.<br />This will make another fine winter project.<br />Garrett

Looks like the hull is in great shape. Interesting floors. Have fun with her!

Re: New Possible Project

Yes its in very good shape. Still looking This company is not even listed in the fiberglassics site. I will continue on. The boat came with a bimini 90 ezloader galv trailer and a 73 evinrude that seems to have some life. all for $500<br />It came with 3 gas tanks. Anyone know of a good way to clean out a plastic tank?<br />I think ill toss the 2 metal cans they where omc with engine.

Re: New Possible Project

The floors are layed directly to the hull.<br />The transom has no actual outer skin just paint and about 2 layers of glass on the inside thats delaminated. My main concern is to find the actual maker of this boat.<br />Its registered as a 1957 Glasply but i cant seem to find any Glasply boats that are older than a 1960-1970 i have posted on the owner forums and they said the same. Any help would be great.<br />Thanks in advance <br />Garrett

Re: New Possible Project

that type floor was quite popular in the 50's. maybe it is a pre mass production model.

Re: New Possible Project

Not to sure myself tash. I just wanted to restore it to the original look. The wood on the dash is not original there are all cutouts for gauges etc under it. The search continues... <br />Thanks for the replies and help
