Who makes this Boat??

vawebman · 01-30-07, 02:21 PM

Was just recently given this boat, but the guy did not know the maker. Anybody have a clue?

Thank You

Zooker,

Here are some more pictures. I removed the side console and there was nothing on the left side of the transcom. The one picture attached is from the right side. I hope you can identify it from these pictures. Thank you so much for helping. I know it needs alot of work, but hopefully I will be on the water this spring. Oh it is fiberglass

Take pictures of the back left of the transom, and where the controls are

Zooker would be the one to know the answer to this question. I would bet my bottom dollar on it.

That man is filled with so much boat knowledge that it puts the boat manufacturers to shame.

I will post them tomorrow. I know the boat was made in 1975 and had Johnson 65HP outboard motor on it.

Thanks

Quachita Bass Boat - There is a guy in NC who has one for sale on Craigslist (http://raleigh.craigslist.org/boa/268977790.html) with pictures on yahoo (http://new.photos.yahoo.com/moodysau...0762387070992)..

Thank you

check all the floor. soft spots means rot. mount the moter on the transome grab ahold of it and try to wiggle it up and down. if it moves more than just a lil bit the transome is thrashed and replacement is needed..

i will get back to up i have a friend digging in some deep dark dank hole for info..he only owns 12-13 classic boats..thought i had it bad with 3 boats but dam.. a 65 johnny is a 2 stroke 2 cycinder-got to add oil to the gas- perhaps one of the few years johnny's were bullet proof.. i have a 71 johnson..

the direct quote from my old friend "strouds"

"They where made in the late 60 and early 70 they where mostly fiberglass bass boats. I know where there is a 17ft with a 50 meck for sale for 900.00 1973 year. i am still digging."
