He should ask more since it comes with a magic 3.0 or a magic GPS.

I was thinking the same thing, my boat has a 3.7 and with just me and half a tank of gas I can do 51.

My Dad and a friend made one of these. Didn't work at all, and the canvas tore apart on the first rock.

Very hard to believe that was last in the water only a year ago. It looks like it's been sitting for a couple decades, yikes.

This comes up every couple weeks on our local cl. Might make a great boat for someone but I just can't figure out the HVAC vents on the sides?

First thing I noticed was the vents, then the cheap thermometer for a knot meter, then the light switches for the lights and ignition.

WHAT in Gods name does that P.O.S. have for helm seats? Surely that is not a "factory" option!
People and their expensive junk never cease to amaze me!

Those seats are out of a subaru brat. The head rests are gone and they cut off one of the "oh shyt" handles to make them fit.

So how did you capture the picture. I tried to save as but would not let me... and I say drop two zeros and make sure you get the trailer.

1958 16' Switzercraft that likely needs some restoration, no price and the guy took a picture of a picture of the boat.

Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

Seems an awful lot for a 'homemade' boat. If it was a well known maker's kit, from the 50's or early 60's, it may not have been out of line, depending on condition............

Needs twin vintage Mercs:

And a slight modification to the title to reflect 1959 Homemade Catamaran

I didn't capture it, I clicked the image icon in the top of the reply box and loaded it from the url

right click the pic, copy location, and paste in the image box

I'll bet it is "fast" with a 35 hp motor that has not run in 40 years.
