Our Holy Grail, an authentic MARLIN Fiberglass Boat 1958 with all it's original parts. A pure beauty with it's original GALE-BUCCANEER motor (A-1 condition). We love the feeling of the 50's while riding Marlin on the water. Take a look at the incredible photos and enjoy!!!

My 1960 Dolphin Salty 16 flybridge cruiser. Enclosed head, sleeps two, flying bridge, she's 15'11" long, 91" wide, her transom is 86.5" wide. She's a fatty. She was the first Mystery Boat on Fiberglassics back in 1999. This model was used for several photo spreads in books and magazines during 1961 and 1962. It was also featured in some of the original Homelite 4 cycle outboard brochures. This is the only one known to exist at this time, 2010. Back in 1998 I started my quest to find one, and asked for Kelly's help on the then new Fiberglassics. In 2003 or so member alumglass posted that he had discovered some articles about the boat in an old Fawcett book from 1962 declaring this a Dolphin Salty. So we finally knew the make. In 2004 a friend called me from the boat show in Olympia WA, and said one was moored there. I finally bought this boat when the owner moved up to a 36'er in late 2007. So it's been a long affair, this boat! Wonder if another will appear?

It's out of the barn, and in my driveway, but the guy who can get it running hasn't called me back. Gonna go see him tomorrow. Anyone know a good, old-fashioned mechanic South of Boston?

The Dorsett Catalina was styled by the famous streamline designer Raymond Loewy and built by Dorsett Plastics Company of Santa Clara, California. Raymond Loewy is also known for designing the United States Coast Guard logo, Air Force One paint scheme, and various Studebaker cars. The Catalina design continued with only minor changes from 1959 through 1963. 1963 is the only year with paint below the rub-rail and the “Catalina” name plate on the cabin. She has an overall length of 16 feet 8 inches and a beam of 79 inches. Displacement is 860 pounds. In her day, the hull was recognized as best-in-class, performing better than other first generation fiberglass hulls. She features a 6 foot double bunk. She has her original matching trailer. “Michelle” lived most of her life in Fall Creek, Oregon. After sitting in a barn for about 15 years, her second owner moved her to Southern California for a two-year restoration. She now lives at Big Bear Lake.

my resto mod skicraft!!! i restored the haul and engine/trans to as close to factory as possiable. then if i couldn't fix or repair the part i would find something to replace it with that looked as it might of been there when it came out in 1964. If anyone has any info as to were these rare but nice looking boats were made i would like to know? thanks steve

This Carribean was sitting in a bunch of weeds for years.Found owner and made him an offer he couldn't refuse.High build primer then b/c urethane. Tee Nee trailer next.Then 35hp Super Seahorse.All 1959.

The waterjet is an amazing tool. It can cut 6" thick marble, but there are limitations to what it can do. I use cut lines to duplicate emblem details.

''1948'' My boat is a ''Pigeon et fils'' (''Pigeon and Son '')From Montréal Canada ...that's what the hold owner said me, but i'm not sure.....I did not find any documentation for this moment about this boat.

Restored

my 1962 Dorsett Catalina I got last year, been slowly working on some issues, but over all it is in great shape.

17' 1960 Catalina Dorsset been restoring for the past 2 years.

Dow Chemical's boats division was purchased by Star Tank & Boat Company (which ultimately became Starcraft Boats) of Goshen, IN. According to an article in the January 1949 issue of "The Boating Industry" magazine the sale recently occurred and that Star would eliminate the Dowcraft name. Magnesium boats were 1/3rd less weight than aluminum boats. A 12 1/2 ft. row/motor boat weighed 75 pounds.

I have a fiberglass, 14ft runabout similar to a 1958 Bellboy Banshee that i am restoring. When I got it it had a 1963 Johnson electromatic motor on it (not the original motor

I got this boat in July 2010 and plan to start working on when time and money permit, soon I hope.

This boat was built by Arena Craft in Mt. Clemens, MI. It is fiberglass, LOA 19'6", Draft 20 inches, Beam 6'8". It is powered by a Ford 312 cubic inch V8 interceptor 215 HP engine and velvet drive transmission. 9 hours on the boat after complete restoration, with brand new custom built trailer. It was purchased brand new by my father in 1956 for $5,995.

I bought this boat with my father about 15 years ago. It was rotten to the floor. I completely restored it from the ground up over the last 15 years. I take it to the lake every weekend. I hope you enjoy checking it out. The lone star is my fathers boat. He restored the entire boat and converted it to jet drive. He is still restoring it and looking for the windows. He works on it everyday it is a beautiful and unique boat. Enjoy

A 16 Year Love Affair

We bought this boat from the original owners five years ago, and like so many projects it has sat in storage since. This fall we began the restoration, with the help of some very talented friends. At present she has been gutted. The transom and floor have been replaced and she is starting to come back together. More to follow obviously.

I found this beauty on Craig's List and it was in good condition despite sitting for almost 10 years. The previous owner revived it and cleaned it up, but didn't want to take it any further. I promised to pick up where he left off and so far so good. I've replaced the windows with new plexiglass that I did myself and am going to wire it up soon. Overall, it is a great boat and I use it as my camper each weekend. You typically don't see boats like this cruising around the lakes of Wyoming!

This is our 1957 Fleetform Commodore 14, white on white with original 1957 Johnson Golden Javelin 35hp. We jhust got her earlier this year and did vital restorations so we could get her on the water this season. She is all original, except 1 cleat, new paint on the interrior, the trim piece for the windshield had to be replaced, and the seats that were horribly rotted out were replaced, and new seats made and design was inspired by the original pattern. More pics to come, including the pics of how she was when we got her.

I have had her for 12 years and I still have alot of work to do. I will be retiring from Boeing in about 4 years that's when I will finish her up. One thing about old blue is she still has the original twin oval windshield like on the brochure . I will have the wife attach some pictures.

This 1957 Owens Cutter Deville has been completely restored. The entire boat has new gel-coat with fire red metal flake on the deck and in the boot stripes with 9 coats of clear gel-coat. The hull was finished with polar white gel-coat. There is also new gel-coat in the inside with a rolled non skid texture with ruby red webbing. All stainless hardware was re-chromed and all aluminum was sanded and polished. For more pictures, please visit our website @ www.atognc.com

1957 Starline Express Cruiser with 1957 Johnson Javelin 35hp. Nice little boat for cruising the SF Bay on a calm winter day.

Silver Lake, West Bend, Wisconsin. bought boat on craig's list and bought merc 500 on another boat at an auction. made new stringers and inner keel board and patched holes in the bottom. Will put in new interior thi year.

'58 Bowman Havana & '57 Johnson 35hp OB

This 14 ft Crosby caught my eye 36 years ago. It underwent a full restoration 5 years ago that included some custom touches like the mahogany veneer on the decks, upholstery, 1958 Triumph steering wheel and dash-mounted speedometer. Windshield and hardware is original.

1958 Duracraft completed restoration July 4th 2010.

Picture 1 Pulled home boat and trailer, $50.

Here are some photos of the boat it was mfg by Marson in Ft madison IA.Will be starting restoration soon. I am looking for any info on this craft.

Restored 1958 15-ft Norris Craft.

1958 Skagit 20 Offshore with original hardtop.

Has a 1958 Evinrude Lark 35 with a Gator trailer.

Here are a few photos of the restoration of my two 1958 Tomahawks

I got this boat when it was a piece of driveway art being used to store all manner of junk by the owner. I "rescued" it and over the course of three years I fully restored/upgraded it to the showpiece it is today. Fully upfitted and Coast Guard approved (in fact the Coast Guard sometimes waves me over just to take a look...not to give me a hard time!) This boat is up for sale in the Glassifieds where more information can be found. ENJOY!!!

It took over 3 1/2 years to complete this restored work. Marty Loken @ Island Boat Shop by Port Townsend, Washington did all of the cabin interior and cockpit items.The exterior i did. She is powered by a Merc V6 150 hp Black Max XR2, has 50 gal gas tanks with a reserve 12 gal one as well, VHF , GPS , shorepower, microwave , all under cockpit floor foam , new canvas , wiring, built in battery charger , dual batteries and many more items. We use her in the greater Seattle area.

this is my 1959 dorsett belmont sport my girlfriend named it no bikini atoll if you know your history bikini atoll is were they dropped the first atomic bomb so ...you blow up island there for it is no bikini atoll :D

A few pictures of my 1959 Dorsett refurbish and the (circa 1960) TeeNee Trailer refurbish.

Doing a complete total restoration on my 1959 Glasspar Seafair Sedan. Making her "Heavy Ocean" worthy, sistering each stringer, adding bulk-heads in between the stringers, fiber glassing the cabin down, and much much more.

I bought my 1959 Lake 'n' Sea Caribbean in the summer of 2010 - it was sold new in Tennessee and had been stored there inside since the early 80s. It has the original suntan and white gelcoat, seat cushions, ski tow rope, gauges, and the 1967 trailer and Mercury 500 motor that the original owner fitted in 1967, as well as all of the original paperwork and maintenance records from 1959 on! It runs great and has been lots of fun all year!

Will be doing a complete restro as soon as I get room in the shop. Wish me luck and thanks for all the help (in advance) and inspiration.

I picked this up free off Craigslist. It's a 13' 1959 Nylox. Not sure of the model, all of the markings are long gone. If anyone has any original pictures of Nylox boats I'd love to see them.

Images of Skagit 31 Saratogan hull number three.

I picked up this boat in May '09 to restore. I'm not exactly sure about the year, but it has a 1958 Evinrude Lark on it and a Golden Jubilee (1959) speedo, so I'm taking a stab at guessing the year as 1959. Currently the motor is about 3/4 of the way through an overhaul. The boat will get new paint this summer and will hopefully be in the water soon! It is missing the front bench. I'm looking for one close to the original for the restoration. If anyone knows where to find a front bench seat for this thing, please drop me a line! More details here: http://mysite.verizon.net/res78w95/boat/index.html

This was my grandfather's boat. When he died my dad bought it from my grandmother and he passed so now I have it. It's been a lake boat all its life. It's been in a garage all it's life and hasn't seen water since 1980. Is hould have taken some before shots but I forgot. Also my dad had already stripped it and started refinishing it but left a can of oil on the port bow. It leaked and rasied the varnish. I stripped the whole thing and started from scratch. I wasn't sure what color filler stain he used or what was factory so I just used Interlux CC Red Mohogany. Yes that is a 1959 Evinrude "Fatty" Fifty on the back. I have the original Jubilee starter/chocke plaque and Attwood steering wheel. They're of in the garage for the renovation. The following are the stripped and stained pics. Once I get it varnished I'll take more pics.

Updated for daily use. Not 100% historic restoration. 80's Johnson Father - sons prject. In the water all summer and is used alot! Boat name Still Rock'n

These are pics of a 1960 Dorset Belmont 15 on the day she join our fleet. I am not sure if it is the sport of the luxury model. She is powered by a 75 hp Evinrude. Dorsets did come with a back to back seating option but I do not believe these are the priginal seats. The rest of the HW seems to be orginal

I sold my motorcycle and bought a boat. I always wanted a classic! I found this 1960 that is a modified restoration but looks great for 51 years old!

We finially unburried it from the last owners garage. We are looking foward to the restoration

This was my first refit of a classic boat,found it north of here around a lake for $300.00. i had posted some pics of her when i got her bout a year ago. Now am near complete and running the boat out of the Clear Lake area south Texas. after some fiberglass repairs and 3 coats of Awl-Craft paint, here she is. i replaced the windshield myself, couild haved used a better plexy,this one cracks real easy.I found a 1975 evenrude for $500.00,after rebuild carbs and some other minor replacements, she runs fine, boat gets up on plane fine and runs 30knts!We named her for our new grandbaby, Lil Bre just wanted to share the progress

This is my favorite little G-3 ski boat. All original or rebuilt original with new paint and vinyl. My wife found this about 5 yrs. ago in good condition. It had been garaged for 30+ yrs.. What a waste, but THANK YOU!! Got it up and running 2nd day at home. It even had the original Evinrude Starflite 75 on it in really good condition. I couldn't believe it. This is a boat I'd wanted since I was a kid. It was "the" ski boat to have in the 60's. I would guess the boat has probably been driven a total of 20 times since 1970. We haven't run it since the restoration and unfortunately are now selling this little gem. This boat was a truly magnificent experience as a project and on the water. Looking for a good home for it. Check out the Glassifieds if you'd like it to be yours. boogs09@gmail.com

I traded this boat for a VW motor and restored it myself. I has the original Evinrude 40 hp motor...It has been such a fun project!!

This 1960 Lake N Sea Carribean sat in a gentleman's front yard, uncovered for years... stoped in to see if he would want to sell, and he replied, "Yep, I think I would" that quick, the boat was mine... sitting on it's original TEE NEE, missing a windshield and needing a transom repair... I hope to tackle it in the near future

1960 Pacific Mariner, Merc 50HP outboard, dual batteries, 6 gallon main tank, 5 gallon aux tank. Wagner hydraulic steering. This boat has been in my family since it was new. Last year I pulled it out of a 20 year retirement and have started slowly fixing it up. So far it has been a fun project and my kids really enjoy going out on the local lakes. Motor runs great, 110+ PSI compression. This summer's project is to recover/repair the front seat base and build new cushions for the rear seat I rebuilt last season. Windscreen repair will happen in a few years. Since it was stored in a barn I think it will shine up nicely once I get a new buffer.

1960 performer islander deluxe, with 75 hp evinrude starflite III

I saw Anthony at the 1960 Chicago Boat Show and had to have her. I traded my 1956 Glasspar for her on December 31, 1960. She was trucked in from California on an auto carrier deadheading home after delivering Ramblers. She has been in constant use since then with no major restoration. Her original Johnson 75 V4 was replaced with a Mercury 110 six in 1975. This is really a bit too much power... she is a bit unstable at full throttle :-) Her upholstery was redone in the early 80's. Two changes were 1) to make the piping the color of the seat, the original metallic thread did not hold up well, and 2) they could not duplicate the dash padding Her gas tank rusted out and a small section of the floorboard had to be replaced in the 90's I had the three Anthony nameplates rechromed in 2010 and the Buell freon horn was swapped for an electric (doing that killed me). I was 24 when we met, if you do your math I'm 75 now, so I don't ski behind her, but we go a lot. Enjoy

Its my first speed boat, I was bought for $100.00 and bring home. I cleaning up and see any need works. Nothing need works on boat. Only need foucs on motor. Its was have oringal motor mercury 85hp stright 6 cycle. Its need to be rebuilt. I couldnt afford do that. I found 1978 evuinrude 85hp 4 cycle to replace the oringal motor. My fiancee ust done the upholster seats. It look nice and more bright up the boat. The Sterling trailer is in good shape, no need works on trailer.

The only one known french "real" Pacific Mariner. Pacific Marinier sold the licence to build the Stiletto in Europe at the American Boat Company. The Stiletto was rebadge American Ski Boat in Place of the Pacific Mariner brand. The same company was in charge of producing the Bell Boy boats.

Picture is worth a thousand words...

This is a rare 1962 Arkansas Traveler Vanguard '17 cuddy that i purchased from my father 3 years ago. The boat was in bad shape when i purchased it. I spent two years restoring it back to almost perfect condition. I rebuilt the transom with new marine grade plywood and epxy resin, as with the floor. The interior has been completly re-gelcoated and painted. The outside has been re-painted also. I ran all new wiring and switches, including a tach, trim/tilt gauge, and fuel gauge. I installed a custom built 20gal stainless fuel cell. The boat is powered by a 1978 model year Johnson 115hp V4 outboard. I enjoy the boat often during the summer months on Conesus Lake in New York. Im currently looking for a replacement windshield for the cabin, any information would be appreciated. I can be reached by email at paveljj@hotmail.com. Thanks for looking

This is arguably the nicest unrestored 1962 Dorsett Catalina around with many original factory upgrades. Enjoy!

I bought her in 2004 when I moved to Chincoteague. I only paid $500 for her and immediately went to work restoring the floor and interior. I found a 1969 115HP Evinrude with electric shift to maintain the vintage effect. The motor gave out on me two years ago so I bought the 1977 115HP Johnson that is on her now. I kept the Evinrude cover since it is patriotic. I did a lot of work preparing her for a parade this year. I'm no restoration expert by any means so let me know what you think of her. I appreciate all comments and/or suggetions.

Boat I purchased last year for $160.00. Looking for more info, pics of boat when it was original. Dont know model of boat either. Boat hull #is 00613

My Classic 1962 Luger Sierra

I believe this Sabre Craft is a Michigan boat which is unusual as most were from Seattle or Tacoma. The restoration has been pretty straight forward. The transom only needed a little repair and the floor was not too bad but I replaced it and completely filled under the floor with flotation foam. The hardest part has been trying to get the chrome and aluminum parts to acceptable condition. I used Pettit paint on the deck and transom and will just wheel out the hull. Overall, I have enjoyed the restoration project even though it has been much more work than anticipated.

1963 Reinell Jet Flight, fully restored. Beautiful boat. I have two motors for the Gulfster: one is a 1979 Mercury 80HP and the other a late model Yamaha 60HP. Interior completely redone.

Picked this up at an auction about 15 years ago, time to get her back on the water.

A few photos of my "63" Sea Ray 808 that I bought locally (Harrison, Mi.)last July. Didn't have to do a whole bunch to it considering it's 47 years old. Had to have both carbs rebuilt last year and the lower ends where done last month. Built at the plant in Oxford, Mi. Powered by twin Johnson 40hp (63's)and it sits on an EZ load tandem trailer (also 63). It hadn't been in the water since 2001 and it was stored inside during the winter. I had to keep buggin' the owner to sell it to me and she finally did but only if I promised to treat her good (the boat, that is). Fun boat and I'm looking forward to getting lots of use out of her.

Found this 1963 16' Uniflite way in the back of my neighbors acreage and asked him about it, took it home two days later on 1/11/10. It had been sitting for over 5 years. Just started cleaning up the leaves and dirt and she's looking great. No major restoration needed, mostly just cosmetics. Can't wait to finish getting her ready for fun this summer!

my 1963/64 arkansas comet. I live in an area that has two big lakes litteraly on our doorstep, in a valley with lakes at either end. when we moved here we realy wanted a boat, and on the side of the road sat this old girl with a for sale sign in her. we ended up paying $700 for it, and it was used a garbage trailer when we bought it, the guy would just throw garbage into it and use it as a garbage trailer motor and all. we ended up doing a tonne of work for the first few years and got to use it only a hand full of times, it had problems with overheating, but we fixed the problem due to the fact that it had a tonne of sand sucked through it. it was my father's originaly, and he ended up repaying me with it. I am about to under go a final restoration and possible sell her dispite how sad that would be. it's just not easy at 17 to be able to afford to keep it and pay for everything else in life, but im still debating weither or not to keep it.

its going to be powered by a 1963 evinrude ,75 hp,starflight ,selectric shift.

1964 Johnson Seasport with a 110hp I/O....needs work.

Picked up the little 14ft boat for $450.00. The only thing I have done to the boat is replaced the carpet and the seats have been re-upolstered. The 35hp Sea King motor has had alittle work and runs great at this time. The wife and I enjoy taking it out for a little spin around Lake Arbutus in Hatfield Wi. It is a cool little boat

My 1964 Sunde P-14. Great little boat that my good friend sold/gave me. It is a work in progress. But I am very excited.

My outboard

This is a Bertram B-20 "Moppie" with the original deep-vee hull designed by the legendary Ray Hunt. Anyone else have one? My 1965 has been modified a bit for added comfort and dependability, but still looks stock. Upgrades include 4-piece glass windshield (25' Bellboy), higher hp (170 hp) fresh water cooled Mercruiser Six and outdrive, twin swim platforms, Bennett hydraulic trim tabs, twin Todd swivel pedestal seats, twin batteries, misc. electronics. The hull, deck hardware, interior, and gauges are all original. The performance of this boat is nothing short of remarkable. It's hands down the most comfortable riding boat I've ever owned. Whether flat calm or seriously big chop it always feels like I've got control. Point it in a given direction and it holds course with very little input needed. She planes easily and economically at half throttle with her very capable inline GM six cylinder. Super quiet, powerful, and dependable. What more could you ask for?

This is my first boat , some of you may have seen up for sale last year. I still may sell it but for now we are going to enjoy working on it and using it

This is My 1965 Pipestone Scout. Project boat. It is one of 2 PipeStones that I own, and at this time are in progess of restoration. This is believed to be one of the last year of production that of boat models in this class that the PipeStone Co. produced in 1965. This also the last year of the Pipestone Sales Co. before the mariner corp took over and became Pipestone Mariner. It will be powered by 1968 40Hp Evinrude Selectrimatic.

hi iam new to power boating this is my first ski boat. am looking for a windshield for it. if if you know where i can get one cheap please let me know and thanks

This is a boat I inherited from my dad. Thinking about cleaning it up, any advice would be appreciated. Id love to get my hands on some replacement logos, refinish the gel coat, and add some minor enhancements.

New project, hoping to be on the water spring 2013!

We recently purchased this classic 120hp Dorsett El Rey I/O in Springfield, OH for $200 in original condition with title & trailer.

I just found this boat online & fell in love with it. I bought it on April 2, 2013 It has an Evinrude 9.9 hp w/ pull start, but I have a Johnson 50 hp with electric start that I plan to put on later. I am planning on just cleaning up for now & enjoying it this summer, but want to start some restoration in the fall. I will try to post my individual projects & lessons learned along the way.

14' Hand me down from a neighbor burned out on boating after 3 years "It was kinda fun but it's just not our family's lifestyle". It sat for 3 years before I brought it around the block. It ran strong and I made sure first thing to get the *big fat* Merc manual for it. I have an evil plan to turn this into an alternative fuel machine. I'd like to have an electric outboard and recently I've been getting into alcohol fuel. Maybe run enough off a still to fill the tank, do some water skying, then finish off the day fishing on the electric till dusk and head 'er into the dock :) I'm learning what the infamous David Blume and his group, International Institute for Ecological Agriculture (IIEA), has to offer. His books like "Alcohol Can Be a Gas" are interesting and in the U.S. you can make quite a bit of alcohol for personal use. Non highway taxes are easy to document and pay the taxes on, thanks to the Green Movement. Alternitive fuels are not so taboo these days.

i am the proud 2nd owner of this boat. my father was the first, purchasing in 1966 in san antonio tx. 700 deluxe all original boat and motor(with exception of wear items). hope you enjoy

1966 Sea Sprite 14 feet 33 Johnson Left abandoned in a field for eight years..We call here "Cherry Cherry" ala 1966 Neil Diamond hit. Kendor Marine got alot of my business

Winslow, Maine

This is a 1967 Boston Whaler Sakonnet powered by a 1970 Bearcat 55 with an earlier hood. I replaced the hood because the original one has a huge crack in it. I hope to someday repair the hood, but I like the Homelite hood because of the emblems and such. I bought this boat in 2011 but didn't get to finally work on the rig until this year. It still needs lots of restoration, but this weekend was it maiden voyage.

Badged as an "Island Maid" with the title listing Thunderhawk 1400 as the model. It's obviously a Thunderhawk that had been re-badged by some boat distributor in Camilla, GA. 1988 Johnson 25hp with an Evinrude cover. Runs out to about 26mph loaded with 2 adults and a couple 12 year-olds. A very clean and well cared for boat.

My Restoration of the 1969er

My Glassmaster of unknown year, powered by a 1969 Evinrude 55 hp Triumph shortshaft.

I have always been in love with these boats as long as I remember. After finally buying a '68 CC Skylark in '95 and using it every summer until '06, I spotted this boat for sale online through Boat Trader and I just had to buy it. I purchased it sight-unseen for $4000 and arranged to pick it up the following summer on my way up to NH. Luckily I got the Skylark sold quickly. I headed up to NW PA to trailer it over to NH in July '07. After 4 summers the boat is just fantastic! It ran like new this past summer of '10. The boat is powered by a 210hp Holman-Moody V8. Not sure if it's original. The blue paint is not original. It was a green color and the topsides have been painted a brighter white. The interior has also been redone with blue seats/carpet and side panels. Over this winter the blue seats are going as well as the carpet. They will be redone in a white oyster color and I'm changing out the carpet for neutral vinyl decking. The swim platform is also a great addition.

Love this boat!

With the stock Buick V6 Oddfire and some hot rod intake and fuel delivery.

I just purchased this boat in July 09'. It definitely needs a little love and elbow grease but the hull is sound, the deck is solid and the registration is paid. It has a 200hp Chrysler 273 in it and a Chrysler 270 outdrive. Should be a fun project.

'71 V153 deck off/hull up restoration using all composite material(s). Very light & strong plus it'll NEVER rot. '86 90hp Evinrude rebuilt from crank up, bored .030, etc. Runs very strong. 54.8mph best GPS. Interior still needs finishing but oh well were gettin there. Enjoy!

Photos of my 71 MG15 that was only in production for 1 year from Crestliner. 15 ft. 4 seater max HP 85. Currently has original 85 hp Electric-shift Evinrude on it. Came with a Spartan Tilt Trailer. Overall condition of boat is 8 out of 10. Will be doing a full restore this winter 2012-2013.

My Dad bought this boat new in 1972 and he gave it to me in 2000. After he gave it to me, I repowered it with the same engine it had (Volvo AQ130C; 4 cyl, 130 hp). Thanks to some minor upgrades, it runs better now than it ever has. It makes me proud to own it and maintain it as well as my dad did for so mny years and enjoy it as our family did for so many years before I actually owned it.

I got this boat from a friend that had to many boats. It had a wooden front fishing deck and no back fishing deck. I am in the process of redoing the boat. Any ideas on what I should do will be great. Thank you.

1977 Ranger 175-A Bassboat I have owned this ranger for approx 10yrs. I left it parked at my pops house for him to watch it for me and of course it slipped his mind and it got sun baked for a few years. (Any help with the brand and/or top cap paint/color restoration would be great) In the past 7 yrs ago, I replaced the Transom with treated lumber, recently replaced the floor and carpet. I am almost finished replacing components on the '75 model mercury 1150 I'm going to put on my boat instead of the '77 Mercury 850. I want to be able to fish a little further out and still make it home for dinner! The "A" on the end of the boat name stands for Allison. Ranger bought the hull for this boat from a Allison racing boat and it became a bassmaster classic bassboat in 1975 and 1976.

Complete restore on my 1978 ArrowGlass Stingray. Striped to bare hull and brought back. Built Mercruiser 470 with 9 to 1 and roller rockers, all ARP head stud kit. Modified Rochester carb. Making 190 horse. Runs out at 50 MPH. Just a blast to drive.

My classic from the '80's

I purchased this boat from a young lady who was not sure of anything about this boat other than it was fun. The title does not give a year.I am in the process of restoring her back to her original beauty. (i hope) If you have any knowledge of this boat, any info would be greatly appreciated. I at least have a possible hull #.

My new project is a 19?? scottie craft. It's in good shape and have put in all new floors, transom. refinished the hull , and now getting the deck prepared for paint.

My main reason for joining your forum is to get some kind of background info on a sweet little boat that I picked up about 6 weeks ago. The name plate on the transom says 13' Sport and the plate on the nose of the bow says "McCulloch". I haven't had very good luck finding info on the internet...odd! It seems Mr. McCulloch made boats under the "Scott" name but I can't find anything under HIS name! I'm told that he built boats under the Scott name in 62-63 but my boat is a later date before he dropped the boat division in late '67. ALL help is greatly appreciated! Thanks Kevin

First trip out after buying and lots of work including a new transom on the Minnow.

A boat my Father bought new that I have hung on to .

Saw this boat in 68 when I was a kid growing up in CT. Had a big impact on me. Never forgot the Boat. On a trip to Racine I yelled at my wife to STOP. There is was as I rememberd but with a lot of wear an tear. The owner had been trying to sell it for several weeks in front of his house on the main drag. NOBODY stoped! 400 dollars took boat, trailor and 150 hp merc (running) motor! Guess it was meant to be. In the process of "period" restoration. If anyone has info i would appreciate it.

1965 Midwest Marine Mariner-"The Chief". I am having trouble finding much information on this manufacturer. Anyone with information PLEASE contact me.

Got this boat for $750. Bought it for fun with my 7yr old son. After getting it home I kind of fell in love with it and am slowly improving her little by little. She has a 60hp V4 Johnson on the back and scoots along nicely. Wow, it is really difficult finding any comprehensive Steury information out there.

1964 Razorback Fury, 1958 Lone Star Malbu, 1960 Redfish Oceanic Cruiser, 1966 Lone Star Flamingo, 1958 Blue Star. Not all of them, but a few. It's an addiction ya know. lol

9ft long 53" Beam Jacuzzi 8mjc Jet Drive Kawasaki 440 Engine

We would love to know the model. Started out as our 99¢ boat because of a seized engine. Turned out to be a trashed lower unit. Our 4 year old son named him Bixby. Repainted the interior the original fleck gray/blue/pink, new upholstery, new carpeting, new canvas, new decals copied from the originals. Rebuilt the lower unit plus all new shaft bearings and seals. Rebuilt carburetor and fuel pump. Rebuilt trailer axles. Added bearing buddies and new tires. We are now back to puzzling over new engine issues,.I like the 75hp Johnson Super Sea Horse. It is original to the boat and looks right on it. I would like to keep it Running. We are going to have to get a parts motor for Bixby if this keeps up.

I bought this boat at the end of the 2012 boating season. The boat was in use up to the time that i purchased it. It lived on the Milwaukee river and was used there in a small section of navigable water.

Charger is in Finland, Europe. Rebuilt 2009/2010. At least three boats sold to Finland between 1969-1973. Hot Sand was in bad shape: foams where wet, transom was rotten ... But now she has a new life in lake Saimaa. (Sorry about machine and steering wheel.)

This is my 1959 american marc catamarine . I found it in beautiful shape and had to have it..

cockplt and interior picture

This is my very first boat. It's a 1964 Glasspar Avalon. We named her after our late dog Copper (nicknamed Copperpot). I really look forward to watching my newborn daughter grow up in this boat. We've only had our boat for a year and a half and already she's given more good times than we could have ever imagined. She's definitely become part of the family. Last spring I had the entire interior redone. Right now (2-4-10) she's in the shop getting her original bimini recovered. UPDATE: Just got the boat back. Bimini looks great. See pics. Look for me and my family cruising the California Delta almost every weekend in the summer. Happy Boating!

From junk to punk

My Down-under Dorsett!!! The Dorsett belmont was made under licence here in Australia and badged under the name caribbean! It was the first mass produced (not that in the big scheme there were many produced compared to the U.S. volumes) fiberglass runabout available here in Oz!!! I found this old girl in a pawnbrokers yard looking pretty worse for wear after some 80's italian fishermen had done a number on it!... I filled over 100 holes and put in a whole new transome and floor which were soft and rotted. Total 2pac paint job + new rubbers and chrome all round. There is one of these in our National Maritime Museum... I will post some pics of it soon. Paul
