That is one sweet lookin boat, Nice job, it looks great

Gary, that's one of the neatest resto's I've ever seen. That old grey Lark even looks great with the yellow. I'd sure like to find one of those...........'course it'd get a color co ordinated Mark 75.

Thanks for posting it.

ROBIN! - FIRE UP THE BAT BOAT!!

Excellent - do you tow it w/a 50's car? I'd bet people would break their necks if that went by behind some big,chrome, tailfinned behemouth!!...

Looks' really neato

Thats a great looking boat, I agree tow it behind something from the 50's

Gary,
Sharp lookin' boat!

Like the chrome and the fins. Something you don't see too much any more, sexy lines. A " Caddy" for the water.

Now thats different! Looks GREAT! Nice resto for sure. What a great addition to the Scream and Fly collection!

Too cool!l

**Adam McKeon** · 12-10-2002, 02:01 PM

The boat has a face!

**Capt.Insane-o** · 12-10-2002, 06:19 PM

Not too many of those still around I bet. Looks beautifull!! Wonder how'd she run with a 2.5.? Sure would be fun to blast by some guy in an Allison or something!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great Gary! I am friends with a guy here in IL that restores a lot of fiberglass boats. He focuses on the unusual, or "far out" looking stuff from the 50s and 60s. He's done a couple of Meteors. Drop me an e-mail at bayou_hurricane@yahoo.com and let me know if you want me to put you in touch with him. Again great job on the resto.

Thanks for the nice compliment Raceman. A Mercury would look & run great. Nice thing about outboards....easy to change. Gary

Gary is that the 56 30 hp Lark?
Nice job!!!! I'm in the process of restoring a 60 Norris Craft with the original 61 50 Merc. I'll post a pic later. Also restoring a 56 Feathercraft with a 56 30 Lark.

Who did your chrome work? Any more pics
