TOPIC: 195? Shell lake
195? Shell lake 11 years 2 weeks ago #95757
|
Just got followed home by boat number 2 this weekend..
Turns out the larson with fins is not a larson thunderhawk, but it is a shell lake, really not sure of year or make, has double humped fins, after inspecting the inside, all the floats and the paint led me to suspect shell lake, then after a quick scrub down she has the shell lake logo or at least the outline on her.. the question is, what the heck year is it and what model, it's roughly 14' in length.

ok found it, you're correct sir, that there is a 57, Rocket. so then my 57 rocket, must have been a 58 or so, that I had in the past.

I also have 2 shell lakes, my rocket and a 12 ft fishing row boat. now we have 3 s/l rocket owners in f/g. the p/o bought mine with a 50 hp johnson and when he got out of the army he put the 75 hp on it. that is living in greenbay now. greg

well I think I just found my motor for the rocket
madison.craigslist.org/boa/4497839237.html Also, I bought this rocket from a former Fiberglassics memeber, TooTall, he's a great guy and an excellent outboard mechanic. |

lol, I'd have no problem selling it to you, but the guy I bought it from was on a fix it up clause.
I do believe it's the 16" transom. |
