TOPIC: delany boats

just found a 17 foot delany catamaran anyone know of these boats cant find no info on them guessing early to mid 60s vintage

yes, made in OR, is the one you found a project or nice?

Dealney's were made in Woodburn, Oregon from the late 50's till about the mid 60's. They are very similar to Power Cats in design. The one I just restored and sold is a 12'9" cat. I know of three others in this size range but have never seen any larger ones. Please post pictures if available. Could be a great score for you and a rare boat. Please feel free to email me if you want more info. Mike in Mapleton, Oregon.

thanks for the info will get some pictures posted as sone as possible it is in very good condition considering the year windshield, landing lights and all emblems are intact in has a mid 70s 115 hp johnson that needs repairs would like two go to smaller twin power thanks again

it is a project but in very good condition and it all appears to be there will post some pics asap

Like this!!! I believe this power cat is in the 17 ft range. My opinion, twins are the only way to go with a cat boat. Have fun with your project. This board will be very helpful as you go along. Mike

I think we can probably help you unload that too. LOL The model number off the transom bracket plate will tell us what year model you've got, any idea what's wrong with it?

Welcome to FG, by the way! Looking forward to seeing the pics J.

Pretty Mercs, Mike.
