Thanks for the comment on my Invader.Do you own one?

Actually it came with two weedwackers and a self propelled lawnmower.I think they will all run with little effort....

freddieclark are you drunk?Cleaned the carb out today in the motor and took a squirt bottle of two storke to the carb and both cylinders fired..Should run good but too cold here to put water to it outside and run it for any amount of time..I want to put a new impeller in to before running it also..That would be wise would it not? Thanks

Skip came over and I gave him some trim pieces off the boat before I got rid of it and he determined it was 1961 Larson but not the common All American but a somewhat rare Playboy Model..Too bad it was ruined like this.Anyway it was completely stripped and I kept all the wiring,controls and motor and sold the boat and the trailer to a guy for 150.00 and hes going to use it as a duck decoy hauling boat..Best thing is hes going to give me the trailer back when he gets the boat off as he has no need for the trailer..Good Deal

I have a 1960 Larson Playboy Runabout and I think that is what yours is/was. It looks like they cut out the middle pinch points that divided the front and back cockpits and cut out most of the covered bow. They are a sturdy hull and should be worth your time to play around with it if it doesn't leak. I am converting mine into a duck boat and will post some pics soon to the forum. I paid $200 for my boat and trailer so you are doing pretty good so far. For $50 bucks to get a boat, motor and trailer is a good day. You can part the motor out for that. Good luck
