The current owner purchased this boat in Orchard Park, NY in 1984. The boat hull is completely original and unrestored. The boat is on a cradle on a steel, vintage, home built trailer. The boat has been stored in a dry garage in Colorado since 1986. The original gauges and all chrome and stainless trim is complete and included. The fuel was siphoned from the original tank in 1986. At this time 2 oz of motor oil was placed in each cylinder via the spark plug hole and the engine was turned over to distribute the oil to the cylinder walls and rings. The spark plugs were replaced and the engine has been in storage in the boat since 1986. All visible wood in this boat appears to be sound and should restore easily. The replacement engine in the boat is a KBL Hercules [64405] with 3 zenith downdraft carburetors. The prop is a 7907 equipoise. The generator is not shown in the photos, but is included. A 6 inch diameter, 10 inch high Ivalite, dash controlled spotlight, [not original to the boat] is available for $300 first come first served. [See ad number 39222]. The light rotates freely. The up and down motion is stuck and will need work to be fully operational. The spotlight has a 36 inch long cable.
