Hello everyone.I recently bought a 1959 Cutter JetDeville and i was wondering if it really a JetDeville.I paid 450.00 for the boat and trailer.Not to bad i don't think.One problem is that the trailer don't have a title and in Pa. in need to get one.I have read in the other forums that i can just file for a homemade trailer title.Is that hard to do?? In the pics you can see on the hull it was patched before and not to well i don't think :(:( I have done some bodywork on cars and i sold ppg paint is hull work pretty much the same.The outboard on this boat i think is a 1964 mercury 500 50hp (sn.1600848).Is this a good motor??I put on a set of muff (think that's what they are)and connected the hose to motor and tried to start it.It run but not to well seemed to flood.I will try to post some pics if i can figure it out.This site is great and there is alot of info on here and its good to know that that there is good knowledgeable people to help.will post again.

Re: newbie 59 cutter

We can sure help you with the rebuild/restore work, but to find others with that specific boat you probably want to check out the fiberglassics (www.fiberglassics.com) site.

Nice vintage boat, it should be a head turner when it's restored.
