Does anyone know the last model year for the Mustang SS?

I am in the middle of a deal for a '73 Mustang. This boat has sat for a number of years, but appears to be VERY complete.

The owner claims it has a Chrysler 318 in it.

Was the 318 "poly" used in '73? Billy?

1970 was the last year with the old hull,I have never heard of an SS in the newer hull.The only real way to tell for sure is the hull number MSS

Thanks, Gary. This one has hull number M3214. So it's definitely not an SS. Do you know what any changes in hull design were for '71?

Do you know the last year for the "poly" 318?

Billy,    Only 4 SS's in the diaries, all 1968 including the real pretty blue one.
318's were quite common in '73's

Would this be the "Peterson Mustang" from Pete's summer neighborhood?

Doc,

That it would. Do you have any information about the boat I might be interested in?

Doc,

My concern is that this boat has the "Poly" 318 known as the M318 as opposed to the LM318. The LM (or Light M) was not a "Poly" engine.

No,   I was about to ask you the same.

I was sitting here last week, thinking my 302 would sound good in the Peterson '73

But, I would have to ask Pete to drag it to Chicago, then someone else to drag it to St.Louis or KC etc,,, etc...

I emailed for more photos, but didn't hear anything.

Anyway, Wife wants a Marauder, kids want a Martinique.



Looks like it ('73) has a lot of potential.
If you need a 302 for it let me know.

Doc,

I may have a deal closed for its acquisition. I PM'd Pete to see if he knew anything.

I live in STL so it's not a bad trip for me.

What's the story on your 302? Holman Moody? What year?

I am a Ford guy at heart and have some pretty vast knowledge of the old Ford Windsor small blocks.

Thanks, Joe. That's all I needed to know. Now a whole world of possibilities opens up for that little 'Stang.

There are only 3 in the diaries,one has a new owner so it is
double posted.Mine is really a 69 and Johnb parted another
69,here is his. Tim Benjamin may have located another and
there was one more that was posted here in the begining of
the site that recently turned up on ebay much worse for wear
since it was on here. If anyone out there has one please post
it to the diaries. Outside they look no different,inside they
all have console with twin stick control,but many have been
converted over to a single gunnel mounted control.



The one Tim had a line on

Gary,

Shame. That two lever control adds a little more class to an already classy boat. When I was a kid, our 1960 Crestliner with its 1961 Johnson 75hp had a two lever control.

How does your Mustang ride?

Gary,

So I see. So I should invest in a lot of Bayer aspirin for rough water?

Is that a freon horn I see? Naughty, naughty releasing all those CFC's

I can hardly wait to see what I am getting into. This Mustang is so different from my Southwind. The Southwind is a flippin' battleship compared to this little Mustang.

The Southwind is big, strong, heavy and smooth.

The Mustang is little, spunky, and seems to make the most of a little bit of horsepower.

I had a 350 powered Southwind 20. 260hp. I would go about 40 or 42. It was nice, but my 440 just muscles that monster out of the water.

Hmmmmm What would a 440 do in a Mustang...hmmm...

Hey Tony,
You need some practice on your linking!! I always try to use the preview feature to check before posting.

Okay, so we have established that a missing pylon is a pretty good indicator of a stringer job needed.

So Pete,do you know the boat?
