Turning her into a lean,mean,waterfowl fighting machine.Will be removing the cabin which has all the original glass intact,upper/ lower windshield ,window frames unharmed as well. No grab rails on roof,shoot me a pm if interested.
Picked up transom saver for outboard,had no instructions for setting the proper angle of motor.Should the motor be tilted as high as possible,45 degress or mass of motor weight directly over transom.:confused:
Looking at a 15' with trailer, located in Ca. Would have to be transported to Western NY.Anywhere from Syracuse to Buffalo give or take 100 miles. Some truckers do not like to drive empty and run cars and such back to there home area for a reasonable fee. Any suggestions or ideas as to what it...
I bought a 1954 Cambridge . I know MFG started in 1955 so this may be a prototype. The Stirling trailer ,which is sweet, is registered as a 1954 and that in itself is reason for me to believe she was built then.The rubrail is not rubber and all the ones I have seen pics of are,so is that...
I am going to look at a Orion and had a few questions
What year did they switch from the "smooth" design to the lapstrake design? I have noticed both designs for this model,I am looking at non lap design.
She is missing her windshield, any out there, or use a Taylor?
I believe there...

Just wondering how many company's made "lapstreak" boats out of glass. I can think of Thompson with there tunnel drive and thats about it, besides MFG. I would think that some smaller business's made them. Anyone have any more to add to the list?
Well my quest for the right MFG continues. Looking at a 1965 Edinboro and my big issue is a few random spots where the color is off. It goes from white to a off color greyish white. Most notable is where the transom and side of boat meet, a spot high on the bow line and just below the rub rail...
Well after examining the Eddy it was just to far gone for me to put the time into her.Too many issues and not enough time and space to address them all. Lower unit was buried halfway up the prop in the ground from sitting on flat tires,black type mold all over her,all trim pulled or falling off...
Looking to buy a V-156 and I was wondering if it requires long shaft or short shaft motor. The boat is a 1975 so what are the odds that the stringers/transom are rotted out. Boat is 125 miles from me and I am talking to somone that knows nothing about the boat,friend of a friend deal. Any other...
Looking at a 69 Eddie with 69 55 Johnson on it. What can I expect for a top speed and cruising speed? What kind of fuel consumption at cruising? What is the dependability of this year engine or what can I count on to replace. The boat is now being used as a " lawn tender" and was stored inside...
