Glassic Boat Gallery - 64-65 Switzer Craft Playboy

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.

45 years of sun and the sides are wavy. wood batten with tape and parting wax is used over freshly applied mud. When it kicks off the batten is removed and the applied mud is faired. this is repeated on the lower style line as well. Fresh mud id screeeted between upper and lower faird lines. This get the surface perfectly fair.
