Many years ago when I was cool, many many years ago, there were two of these boats on our lake. They were the hot ticket, with a 60 hp Merc, sure made a kid with a fishing boat and a 25 pine a bit. It's now many years later and low and behold I find one of them in the woods at the lake while I'm out hiking with one my boys. I ask around a bit and find out it's one of those two from many years ago, the owner says "take it"! I've got in mind a full rebuild so my kids can ski behind it. I'm interested to find out more about these old boats. I think it's from the 70's but don't really know. I can't find a HIN anywhere, there is a USCG plate, but it's from before the standard format that we're used to.
Anyone know anything about these?
Any rebuilding tips for me? The hull is solid but for some scrapes, the plywood in the transom is gone so I'll have to split the thing.
I've got a good running '91 Evinrude 40hp for it. I know this boat has been on the bottom of the lake at least once, which I suspect was due to the 60 and teenage operators so figure a little less power is a good idea!
