Steve, would be be able to bring a trailer back with you? Ive got a thought... email me: TRBenj@gmail.com

Steve,

From the looks of the profile picture that Tim linked, it looks like you might need a motor box. Paul Carpenter in NC might be able to help you out. He posted this in another thread yesterday or today.

yes i did buy my mustang in OH. it was advertised in culombas but it was acually in haskings a litle north west.i toed it home thrue the mountins of PA in a snow storm and had to change the axile to the trailer also in a snow storm.i was lucky i was able to find one on a sat afternoon.i think that it was ment to be in ct and i can get through any problems i find if i do my research and take my time.
i am consideing pulling the engine and doing the stringers just so i know it is right. i will see wha happens. the plywood has been replaced and it is not soft but it needs to come up so i can inspect.the boat has a lot going for it and i will have fun fixing it up.

i love my boat!!! i am hoping the stringers r ok. i will not know till i take up the floor and inspect. i am not in a rush and i am willing to do whatever it takes to restore this boat.i think it is a good project boat with a lot of potental.i have restored a 69 firebird and a 51 hd panhead but this mustang ss has me really excited. i will keep u posted. thanks again

y r ss difrent ?

i have the early style cleves typ. i cant wait to start working on my boat unfortatly i dont have a place to work that isnt covered in snow!thanks to every one for the lesson it has been very helpfull.

Steve,
The early clevis style will look like two "ears" sticking out of the glass as shown in this picture at the top.



The later style will just look like a short piece of pipe sticking out from the keel like this except with the cross drilled hole.

Both styles are bolted at the keel!! That's what keeps the pylon in the boat.

How about a picture.

i would have to say i have the cleves typ that takes the 7/16 brass bolt because the hole in the bracket is horazontal not verdical but thanks for the info now i no there are 2 typs

Steve,
The pylons were optional. Sorry I didn't make it clear when I told you they were dealer installed.

Strength? Many a skier(s) were pulled by that set up!!!
