    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.
    Hello to 63g3, I am the new owner, and am in love with the boat! I m putting a '68 Merc 1250 with RH SSM on it. I had a '68 Star prior, when this one was sold a year ago I missed it by about 3 hours! I will PM you, I also have your phone number thanks to RDL. The boat will be run at the Tavares Florida vintage event in March, I am in process of putting power trim on it and making a few changes to bring it back even more original.

    I have the Star and M1250 for sale - just not the boat for my lake and my wife won't ride in it. See post under boats 20' and under or on Facebook Marketplace.
