    Time capsule!

    I’d love to have this thing!

    Check out the orig building plans and the owners manual for the motor.

    Builder did a hell of a job!

    Ought to run good too, as light as it is.

    ebay has changed their format and no longer shows an IP address??

    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    Being a cabinet maker there are a few things I always wanted to build with a boat being one of them. Helped on a few and have made parts for several. That's a cool looking ride.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking, an Elgin motor would top it off

    Im not sure of the Elgin part.

    My dad built a Chris Craft kit boat in the same era and that was way popular for the GI’s coming back from WW II as my dad was and reconnecting w/their family.

    At that time Sears was also selling plans and kits to build your own house.
