TOPIC: AQUABIRD 1960

I was heading to the job site to day when i saw some guys trying to git this boat in a Dumpster as i drove by i saw the steering wheel so i stopped and ask about it. As i stud there looking at it i herd SAVE ME SAVE ME so i told them i wood salve there problem by towing it a way, they agreed so i towed it home. It came with the motor and trailer the motor is a evinrud 1955 3hp lite twin.

SCORE!!

Nice Old boat at a Good Price ... Might need a little more Motor thow ...L.O.L...

Hope this isn't a disappointment, but "Aquabird Nonmagnetic" refers to the brand of steering wheel which was made by Nautalloy Products of Auburn, New York.

Great save. Terrible to think the boat was about to be tossed into a Dumpster!

Now thats a "POWER BUY" !

Cool AquaBird steering wheel!

I took a load of junk to the Local dump about 10 years ago . I swung past the Old metal pile just to look for what ever .Under a pile of Aluminom siding I saw a Brass prop .So I started to dig ....L.O.L... I soon found it was attachted to a Quick Silver lower unit and it was hooked up to a white 50 HP Merc .It took me a good 1/2 hour to dig it out .I brought her home and cleaned her up .It had great compretion and after a couple of hours work it ran like a watch .I gave her a paint job and put it on Ebay ..Got $1700 for it ...Kinda wish I had kept it now but I wasnt into vintage boats then ..A guys gotta keep a looking and youll never know what pops up .Sure would have been a shame if that Merc would have been crushed ..
