I figured i'd post some pics of my 1960 slickcraft that i am restoring. If anyone knows of a boat like mine...i need interior pics and might be looking for some trim and interior parts down the road!

So is that Paint, Gel Buffing? How did you get the shine back? Looks great.

Thanks, it's my first. I used the "roll and tip" paint method using Pettit bright red marine paint.

Looks great, nice job on the paint! That's the color/brand I'm planning to go with too.

i just came across a 1960 or 1961 slickcraft just like this one that has been sitting in a warehouse since 1985. it is stripped bad but a nice restorable hull.i have pictures if you need them. also did yours have any serial # on it?

Re: 1960 slickcraft

There is one that I just looked at yesterday by my office here in Troy Mi. Not sure if they are exact matches because I didnt see your boat with motor and everything else. The one I looked at had the orginal int. and I could get a picture if you strike out. The lines on the one I saw were quite striking, and it was powered by a 70 Johnson Super, it looked like it would just fly. The boat I saw was about 15 maybe 16 feet long, but quite skinny, just had 2 bench seats, very basic on the interior and simple dash board too. He was asking $1500. and it was in very nice original shape.

motorcity..i replied to your pm.

greenbush future...i'd love to see some pics. Sounds a lot like mine. Basic interior and simple dash, not even a wood floor! I've only seen an old brochure of my interior but it's hard to see any details.

Thanks guys.

Re: 1960 slickcraft

this was the cheap model. they did not come with wood decks like the next priced ones. i think this is better looking with the lines.
