Ouch! That makes me want to cry just looking at it. Might still be salvagable but way too much work.

Must be a Euro model,wheel [that looks like it came from a car] is on wrong side.Prop looks good as well as the kicker bracket.There is a nice Wolverine$$ on Craigs in Detroit, looks like a 50's Merc pulling it with the old bumper clamp on trailer hitch,the chrome bumper can't be happy.

I just bought it. $20.00
I was just after the hardware.
The Graymarine is all there, as is the drivetrain.
She may have a little Hudson or Desoto in 'er.
I may be turning into the Fred Sanford of the boat world! :(

Looks like a seat out of an airplane and streening from a 55 Pontaic.

Either way. I'm glad someone got it and will keep it from going to "waste" :kiss:

Homemade trailer ? The drive train may be worth the price of admission.

When I get the old girl home I will start the dismantle and keep the pics coming.
I am thinking Graymarine engine/trans/propshaft/prop static display in my mancave. Cleaned up and painted it would look sharp on a nice varnished oak display stand.??

Here id my cross bear

The owner took to a friends father's house after he stripped it and left it out there for 4 years

The good part is the the ply rotted out and it did not hole any water. All of the stringers are good. The motor runs with spraying fuel into the carb, all oF the parts are in it...just need 14 to 16 sheet of ply at $148 a sheet...and me to put it on the list...after the 2 Yellow Jackets. the Thunderbird 2 Lone Star 1 1923--25 wood boat built for Humble Oil a Feather Craft and a Ouachita









Then I was also given a small cypress putt putt...after they burned a large one :angry:

Why do boats always show up when you do not have time to add more to the to do list
