I posted them in the album section but lets see if i can get some here...They were taken the day the boat was taken out of the boat house. It was sitting in there on old tires for 30 years. I bought a trailer for it ...i think its a tee nee....from what i can tell by others selling theirs on ebay..I put new tires and rims on it ...I hope to repaint it in the spring as well as get a custom top and install a bilge pump. I am planning on keeping it fairly original ...It originally came with Flamingo red ( orangy) however i plan on repainting it slightly more red. Luckily the Evinrude dealer here ( Toront on ) carries the original paint colour for the 40 hp 1970 motor....That should spruce it up a bit.I remember being a kid driving around in that thing thinking it was so fast....as does my son now....The first pic had an 18hp on it....I bought the 40 hp as it was cheap, runs good and had electric start...I added the starter face plate to the dash. It was from a 1959 evinrude lark i have.( long shaft and i need short on this boat ).Hope everyone likes the pics.

Neat boat!

All of the Starcraft restorations going on really have me intrigued. I am definitely going to start looking for a tin boat when I wrap up the current project. An Islander would be nice for use in the bay. :)
