If no takers I'd consider taking that off your hands Riley.

If that's the atom skier I looked at yesterday morning best wishes. Very few original parts left there. They are a real pretty boat. My son and I are working on a junior utility and have gotten the bug so to speak.

Bill, the one we have is a 16'. It's been completely stripped, but all the wood is there. If you want to come to Maine and get it, you can have it. I'd rather see it go off with someone that can use it rather than see my BIL get sick of looking at it in his front yard and burning it up. The engine was a 256 135 hp y block. We sold it to a friend, but he hasn't done anything with it and he mightbe interested in selling it.

The year or length of the Atom would be great to get the proper size engine. Pictures please!! |

I think the best way to go about doing this is to find a complete trashed one and use it as a pattern boat that way you end up with hardware and drivetrain. There are plenty of them out there. Piecing one together from scratch will cost quite a bit.

There are no plans and I'd be surprised if CC ever had plans as well. I suggest looking for a Atom that you can restore, A reproduction will be worthless. Hopefully you can find one with all the original hardware as well.
Keep us informed and when you find the boat, I have several sources for an engine/trans. Is there a particular reason you're looking for an Atom? BTW, there were 3 different lengths through the years of the Atom production. CC kept adding length so they could put larger engines in them. Welcome to CCfan. What part of the country are you in? |
