Just picked up my 1964 14" Family Runabout last week. Found motor in a barn I was helping to clean out. Engine fired up after four cranks. Curious If anyone knows what the original two toned upholstery colors for this year were. I'm picturing Turquoise on top and cream or white on the bottom of seat backs. And cream or white for seat cushions. I want to restore it back to original. Im only doing seats and upholstery, and adding original controls and electric start button for my 1958 35hp Johnson electric start Sea Horse.

Beautiful specimen, much respect for staying faithful to the original. Please move this to the restoration section, more people need to see this pristine boat.

It was only original once

The original style vinyl is no longer available.

So restore it any way you want

regarding the boat, it reminds me of the 1974 Mirrocraft ski n' troll that I grew up on . however it was yellow and white. seats were creme-ish white and brown. the ski n' troll was rated at 45hp, however with the Merc 50 on back, it would do a good 33-35mph with proper trim and weight balance

the vinyl was similar to pebble tech that searay used 5-10 years ago

I myself would look into the Sunbrella Horizon vinyls as they currently have the best reputation and the best warranty against pinking.

I don't expect to get the same material. I was asking if anyone knew what the original colors were. They were two toned. That's all I know. Thank you for helping.
