Really well done, just "vintage cute".. Love it

[@EricJamesHanson]

It is lovely, just great, and the white motor sets it off very well too.

Thanks. That motor blew up. I replaced it with a sweet 1960 Mercury Mark 55.

Absolutely beautiful! Love this! May I ask where you found the blobs / lens for your stern light? I have one like that and it’s quite yellowed.

[@RDCards]

What size wheels is that? Safe? Probably 55mph max

[@victoroneschuck4139]

Nice boat. I have a similar style boat, 1960 Elgin 14'. I need a windscreen with frame. Where did you get yours?

[@TheOffCycle]

What speed are you getting with the 50?

[@jewellianhardrocker]

just bought the same boat, how bad did repairs cost? and any tips

[@James-cb5gx]

What speed did you get with the 35hp. Im restoring a 1957 seaking

[@exile1957]

I can get 26mph alone, 2 people top end is about 22mph. If we have people in the back, it takes awhile to plane, but after plane about 15mph. You may want to find a 50hp. The 35 Johnson blew up. I have a Merc 300 1960 on back now. Pretty much the same performance. However a much prettier motor!
