Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

I'm new to the forum and would like to join the club. Where can I do that?

Picked up a 1970 Crestliner Muskie 15' with running 70hp Johnson/trailer....for FREE!! Been restoring it the past month and on thru this winter to have ready for next spring.

Check my Fotki album for progress pics.

Hey guys does this qualify?
1971 Combo Cruiser built by Ship-a-Shore corp. in Mishawaka, IN. I have been unable to find much information about her or her manufacturer, but did find a Life magazine feature photo:
She has an OMC electric shift outdrive and I have adapted a Subaru 2.2 inboard. Currently in the middle of a paint job.

Hey thanks redfury! I am getting all my pics together and will put them up as soon as I am done painting... hopefully in the next week. You guys have a great thread going here! I never knew there were so many tri-hulls out there.

Well, actually I was using those for fresh water tanks... finest stainless around! Got those years ago back when the deposit was only $7.00 apiece! Things have changed now. But yeah, I did bring plenty of beer

I've been busy on this restore the last two months. Check out my Fotki page for progress.
Still have cable grommets to put in, finish the front seat section (wife said she would handle that), and put in walk-thru windshield once it arrives.

Trailer will get overhauled next spring. Gotta get this out of the garage for the next few months so the wife can get her truck in for the nights.

Talk about bringing back memories.

My father was President of Ship-a-Shore from it's inception. A product far ahead of it's time but plagued with a manufacturing issue that ultimately led to it's early demise.

Wonderful concept but the devil in the detail.
