Good day Gents and Gals,
Well, I'm in!
This is day 1 of my ownership of (what I think to be!) a 1969 Arkansas Traveler Comet with an Evinrude Big Twin 40 hp Selectric engine. Picked it up from my neighbor for a few hundred dollars and plan to do a full restore over the next year.
It definitely needs some love, but from what I can see, the essentials are solid (frame and engine). Everything else needs to be changed! Lol!
Trying to work out a plan to move forward. Will probably bring it in to the shop to have the engine worked over (oil, tune-up, carb, plugs, cables and impeller) as a first step. After that, lights, wiring, guages, clean, polish, refurbish the interior, new radio + speakers, new seats, windshield...and so on!
Here's a pic of the old girl as she is now. Can't wait to get going on her. Will have to wait for the snow to melt first though...
