ramp view different motor. The one in the other pic is a 1963, the one in this pic is a 1957. Think I will run an old motor on it tomorrow a 1953

I just picked up and sold a one owner 1958 35 hp Big Twin. cleanest one I have ever seen that was not restored. Same guy had a 1957 7.5 hp bought new also. Kept indoors their whole life.

Cool boat. Looks a lot like the Glen-L Zip model. Maybe one day after I finish fixing up the boats I have I will get to build one.

I'm sure we'd all love to see pics of the build.

Looks great, what about a back rest for the driver.
Do you have plans now to go bigger?
What about a barrelback.

Re: one I built last winter

the plans called for a backrest, but I didn't put one in. I like being able to turn around and get to everything a bit better. I might move the wheel to the front, but have not decided.
