I think I am first in line for the green one - I do have this '68 that I want to sell if I strike a deal on the green one. Boat and trailer, keeping the motor.

They all do! The red one did it and I only was running 6 gallons forward a little. One just drives thru it! And as far as turning, forget it, they have a mind of thier own!

**KIRCHNER** · 12-26-2019, 06:29 PM

sounds like my old carlson, no turning;

The infamous Switzer skate

I Hi all,
To the seller: Not trying to butt in but I’m the guy who previously owned and restored this Switzer. You can have a buyer contact me, this is a no excuse survivor correctly restored. I know history back to original owner.
This was a true survivor, so I kept it as close to original as possible. 84 gps with a 1500 XS and a lefty SSM, guess this got separated from boat after me. All new frames and side stringers in Okoume, West, biaxial, the boat is 100%.
Original metal flake gel and upholstery, wow. Note the rideguide wheel, just like the one pictured in the mercury boat house news flyer on this boat. I met Bob Switzer, in NH While he was sight seeing during foliage season so, I got the first hand knowledge everything here you see is correct. PM if an interested buyer.
PLEASE someone do this boat right. My long term plan was to put a Twister on it and name it Twisted Switzer ( you Twister guys never sell!) it is rock solid It’ll handle the extra push from a twister. Zero flightiness at 80 plus air vents out the sides so it limits how much packs under the boat. It’s a rush from 60 on up. I moved on to other boats, in this case I sold the Switzer to restore a survivor Glastron GT160......ya a complete change of pace.
