Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

It seems with times getting tighter more and more prople will be holding on to that old boat they own. My question is How old is the boat that you own currently?

1979 Chaparal 187

1975 Invader Intruder 120 MercCruiser
1971 Mirro Craft
1981 Hy-Ryder

1961 Custom Craft Sea Ray. My grandfather bought it new. The 1964 Mercury 650 was also bought new in and installed on the boat in '64

She's 66 years old; 1946 Speedliner Torpedo (hence, my handle). Undergoing its newer and better restoration from when I flipped it and sunk it in 1976.

My 1959 Texas Maid "Tahiti". Not there yet, but soon..........Added, the beginning and my humble rendering of the finished project. Progress is slow but, if possible, will add more later. When finished it will be solid red with black appointments. Thanks

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

I have 2
1956 (titled as a 1957) Crestliner Commodore Speedster - Center Decked
1976 Steury S-1500 tri-hull

The Commodore is getting ready for a refurb and if I can find one, a bigger motor (rated for 30hp) now that the Steury is sea(lake)worthy. Old transom is coming off this weekend, and gonna go through her, it won't be a full restore to original condition, but I will do what I can to make her look nice and restore her original configuration (with remote shift, steering and throttle) as well as I can within my limited means.

Pictures?
