Good to see you back around Jim. I figured you were busy, if you weren't before, you sure will be now. What's the blue "odd ball"?

15' and rated to 100hp
with the hull strakes , the original specs claim 90 degree turns at 45mph... don't think I'll try it though lol

Could be a useful capability when you need to avoid falling trees.

That is a real shame. I would start over with one of those blue boats with the tail fins. And salvage the Merc 6.

the Glasscraft is getting a 58 Johnson fat 50 deluxe and the orange 600 is getting a 59 Merc Mark 78A dockbuster
the big old red Glastron Bayflite in the background gets 2 59 Evinrude Starflite 50s
the Merc direct drive for the 600

and the Fat 50 for the Glasscraft

Hmmmm, I guess we don't need to ask you what you do in your spare time. Many of those are from my high school era. Nice collection.
thank you !
I'm actually semi retiring in August for the move
probably find a 40hr a week part time job for a year or 2

Some very cool stuff. So we can expect to see you around here more?

Nice pictures, but with a ”moparlvr4406” user name, I’d really like to see some garage pictures!
 
Any true A-12’s in that past life collection?
 
They’re all cool, but I’m really liking the cream colored one just under it.

What is it?
if you're talking about the 7th pic down .. it's actually a faded olive green 63 Dorsett ElDorado
cool little high end boat for it's day. Automotive safety glass tilt windshield and sort of a barrel back line
bought it for the motor and decided I kinda liked it



this is the dash after a little of my magic
 
I like them all. Do you ever sell them after you refurbish them? And again... Welcome back! I always enjoyed reading your posts.
I've sold a few but most of these are keepers.. at least till I find something more rare or cooler ;)
