Just picked up this 1968 Mustang yesterday. It was repowered with a 351R at some point in the 70s. Got new gelcoat three years back and appears to be in pretty solid shape, just needing some tinkering. It’s pretty quick with the 351. Unfortunately our boating season in New England is coming to an end. I will winterize and shrink wrap the mustang soon. What would you all suggest for a punch list of Mustang-specific maintenance items? I already plan to properly winterize the motor and change the oil in the engine and trans. The trailer is missing the forward stop - I don’t plan to tow it any distance until I figure out a replacement. Any suggestions? The V-frame design isn’t compatible with a modern winch tower. This is replacing my 2001 13’ Whaler and will life on a lake in NH. My dad previously had a 2001 Malibu Sunsetter LXi, so I’m happy to be back in an inboard boat. Foolishly I forgot to write down the hull number. Can an original build sheet be pulled for these boats? |

Welcome to CCfan and yes, congratulations on picking up that Mustang. There really isn't a specific list for the Mustang. Treat it just lick you would with any other inboard of the era. I would suggest checking the engine/shaft/strut alignment as well as the condition of the stringers. In the reference section there's a PCM engine manual that should be close to the 351 you have. The layup section may be beneficial to look at. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

In addition to your above plan, I would disconnect battery. The rest of the stuff (like alignment, repacking gland, RWP impeller) can be done in the spring. For bow stop, I would copy a CC trailer #2 design. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Nice looking boat but that engine is a mystery for sure, since Ford never made anything called a 351R.  You most likely have a 351W. Maybe the R was somebody's way of trying to tell you it's it's reverse rotation. Somebody is bound to come along and ask if it's reverse rotation and a bunch of other engine questions Some engine pictures would be good |

Pretty sure 351R stands for RACE MOTOR. Here’s the tag. It’s a 351W. I think the R means either reverse rotation, right hand rotation, or rebuilt. The supplier is out of business and I don’t have paperwork, so who knows.

Nice looking boat. With that 351W in there I look forward to you winding it out with a GPS attached to see what top speed you can reach. After working out all the bugs of course. It is so light I bet it will fly. ------------- |

CR, I just happened to notice that when Gary did his bow stop drawing, he ID'd the pipe as "1&5/8". What it really is scd. 40 1&1/4" pipe which does have a O.D. close to 1&5/8".of 1.660". Mentioning it so you don't go looking for 1&5/8"!!  Gary's forte in life was chasing down problems with little wires and not pipe fitting! Gary, Yes, it looks like a RH prop. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Andrew - yep, that’s the boat. Came through the boat museum auction last spring, my neighbor on the lake picked it up, did some work, and used it all summer. I just bought it from him. Prior to the auction is was with the original owners family. Gary and Peter, thanks for the drawing and details. I’ve been planning to take a welding course, this may end up being my first project. Has anyone added a winch to this design? |

CR, there are several threads on winches. You want to mount it high so it pulls the bow of the boat up when loading. The boat angle then will match the angle of the trailer closer when it's on the ramp. Then for trailering, use the original turnbuckle to the eye on the stem. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Did they use a turnbuckle back then? There is no evidence of one ever being on mine. The PO did mount a winch on the mount for the spare tire there in the center of the goal posts. I will get a picture later. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

| I launch I my yard on a sandy beach. The sand gets deep once in the water, so I can either back the trailer in 3/4 of the way and use the trailer winch to haul the boat out a bit. Or, I can back the trailer in all the way and then use a tow truck winch to haul my stuck truck and boat out of the lake. |

Yes, without the winch, you do need to get the trailer in pretty deep.  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Did this the other day while pulling out my Whaler. Forgot to put the chains on the tractor, spun the wheels, buried up to the frame. Pushed the boat back off the trailer, detached the trailer, lifted each side of the tractor with a floor jack and stuck plywood under it. Then tried again with tire chains and plywood, no isssues. Wasn’t planning to spend 1.5hr pulling out a 13’ boat... Definitely will use the truck with the Mustang

Can't seem to embed video here, so links are below. Got her in the lake for one last ride. Changed oil in the engine and trans - this swapped-in 351W takes nearly 8qt. Winterized the motor, yanked all the seats/accessories/battery, and dropped her off for shrink wrap. Already ordered new step pads from Jetwinn on ebay and dropped the frames off today for re-chroming. Bought a salvage trailer winch post and will need to get that welded in place. Looking forward to snowmobiling this winter, but it's tough to put away the new boat already. http://www.canyonero.com/files/1539302422.MOV" rel="nofollow - Motor running http://www.canyonero.com/files/1539303018.MOV" rel="nofollow - Last ride of her 50th season |

Pretty much a guess based on your pictures and your previous posts, but I think you have a fairly rare engine from the "Mongrel Engine Company" In other words you have a mixed breed there. The front stuff like the brackets for the raw water pump and alternator look like Conqueror/Crusader or Commander parts. They may have come from the engine that was originally in the boat or may have just been scrounged from somewhere. Both of those companies used exhaust manifolds with some funny plumbing and an equally funny thermostat housing. It looks like someone put some Osco exhaust manifolds and an Osco or Indmar thermostat housing to give a simpler setup much like a PCM or Indmar setup that works well. You can find most any part you need for the engine including cooling, fuel and ignition so if it runs good which it sounds like it does from previous posts just drive it enjoy it and smile If you ever need distributor advance mechanism springs you'll have some trouble finding them whether you have a Prestolite of a Mallory. (Lots of trouble really) It's kinda hard to tell from the pictures which it is. |

Got the boat unwrapped and dropped back in the water this past weekend. It's not staying in the water for the season yet, but I needed the trailer empty so I could move my newly-purchased lift into the water. We then used a bunch of boat tubes to float the lift 300yd down the shoreline. Worked way better than I expected. Got my repro step pads and re-chromed surrounds installed. Polished the windshield and got her running for the first couple lake laps of the season. I love this boat. Next projects are to treat and install the teak swim platform I pulled off a '78 American Skier. Then hook up my tach and install the dash-mounted pod speedo I found on ebay. Does anyone have a gas gauge solution for these boats? I'm currently using a stick with a line on it. Works OK. My glass port in the hull is clear and the bulb inside works, but I can't see anything on the tank that would allow for a fuel level check.         ------------- 1968 Mustang 16 - 351W powered |

Wrapped up the Mustang on Sunday. First season in the books, and it was a good one. Got some work done before putting her to sleep for the winter: -Fuel tank boiled out and painted by JP Carroll's in Lexington MA -Broken mechanical fuel gauge removed -New Kus electric fuel level sender installed -Teleflex International series fuel gauge found on ebay (matches the rest of the dash), wired and installed after bench testing with the new sender. -Hour meter moved to new location below bilge switch. New hole drilled in dash. -Rudder packing replaced -Bow stop acquired, painted, installed. -New fuel fill and vent lines installed -Bilge cleaned out. Looks like it's been painted before, maybe when the 351 was swapped in. -Carpet re-glued to inside of hull Will order a new UPD windshield and a Quick Fuel M600 over the winter. I've decided against installing a swim platform - the boat does look better without it, and after a full summer of use I don't really need it. I'll have a platform and brackets from a '78 American Skier for sale at some point.      ------------- 1968 Mustang 16 - 351W powered |

Michael - as Riley said, it controls your nav lights and will also turn on a small bulb inside the fuel gauge viewing window on the rear deck. Make sure that bulb is connected/working while you have the boat apart. Does your '68 have the same narrow dash panel as mine? At some point in 68/69 they switched to the wider dash panel. My boat also has the longer rectangular fiberglass decoration on the stern - I think the newer boats just have a small V-shaped line there. What does yours look like?

Here is some trivia for you newer owners that was originally supplied by Dave Hendricks Someone will correct me if I'm wrong Chris but I seem to recall that obviously there were more than one mold for Mustang,American Skier,Skylark,Skier,Sportsman,Tahoe hulls and yours with the raised transom was also used for the optional I/O version. I thought at one time there was a thread on this but could not find anything. I also seem to recall that TRBenj has stated that that version is the faster of the two hulls There are also 2 other dash versions as well- the 68 and 69 SS models- 68-  69-  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Posted By: Gary S

Yea but I’m driving from the wrong side, must be the English model  I would not say more deluxe at least on the standard Mustangs. Your boat was built and marketed to the genuine hard core skier. Mustangs IMOH were up against every other recreational runabout out there. SS’s whether or not in Barracuda or Mustang guise were obviously more deluxe with more gauges,console and chrome but in the Mustangs case it really kills the room inside and most likely why the console had been removed from mine when I bought it. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Got the Mustang back in the water last weekend. Installed my new windshield from UPD. Fitment is good, took just minor fiddling to get it in place. My new fuel gauge works great. Nice to have fuel level without dipping a stick in the tank. If any of you have your tank our, spend the $75 to add an electronic fuel gauge. Quick Fuel M600 will go on in the next few weeks. It was supposed to go on this past weekend, but the weather was nice so I spend time on the water instead.  ------------- 1968 Mustang 16 - 351W powered |

I go back and forth on the platform. The boat looks better without it, but I used the platform on our old Malibu a lot and I miss having it. We normally take the pontoon if we are skiing, swimming, or going to the sandbar...but I'd likely use the Mustang occasionally for those activities if I had the option. Mark - forgot to respond to the other part of your post. Yes, my engine cover has another set of holes. The other side of the hinges pulled out of the plywood floor panel and the previous owner moved them. My cover has been cut and widened about 4" to accommodate the 351W. ------------- 1968 Mustang 16 - 351W powered |

Chris, Smart call in my book. I'm always asked WHY I don't put a platform on my 72 Mustang. I always inform them that it ain't happening as it wasn't an option and I just can't drill holes in the boat. ( why it doesn't have a Bimini either). Dude, how do you get back in the boat? Old school Baby!!! That being said if Heather and I are gonna be out in Kermit all day I make sure we'll be rafting up with other CCFans who have platforms to make life easier (especially since she can't get back in the boat Old School}, or I bring the those Folding Gunnel Ladders that hang over the side that the previous owner bought.. I hate bringing it as it takes up precious floor space but if I want the Boat Babe to go with me..... It goes. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Installed my Quick Fuel M600 this weekend. Quick settings of float level and idle screws, plus some fiddling with the throttle linkage, and she's running stronger than ever. I was born after the advent of fuel injection, so this was my first four barrel carb installation. Way easier than expected.  ------------- 1968 Mustang 16 - 351W powered |

Are you talking about when you sign on??? If so, that Security code entry pops up every time you log in to keep spammers from gaining access. ------------- 84 SN Sold 98 SN Lund Pro V 1975 Alumacraft |
