Good idea not to put a BB Chrysler in that Lyman Reid. You'd have boards flying off it like an old Jersey skiff.

Jerry'll have her running sweet soon.
Soon as I get the cover it'll be on the boat. It is just driving me crazy. Sorry. john |

John, Yep, that's the mini Bertram. We got her fired up today and dropped in the water, but as mentioned by the selling dealer, it did only run off about 4 of 6 cyl's and 2400rpm max., not nearly enough to plane. I called about the '70, got voice mail, dropped ball on cover last week, but it's boxed up and labeled. See it Tues. Thanks. |

I've owned this red 14' Lund with a Johnson 9.9 for 20 years. We have taught more kids to ski with this than with all the inboards we've owned over the years combined.

We've got a several neat Non-CC's.
88 Shamrock 17 center console 4-cyl inboard that we use quite often. 61 Lyman 21' 109 Graymarine flat head (was days away from swapping in a BB Chrysler, but the Pete in me said no). Just can't seem to get this wooden project finished. 67 Donzi 18' 347 Ford stroker. Own this 50/50 with a buddy. 66 Bertram 20' 4.3 MerC I/O.(orig I-6). Just picked up this old classic girl for a song. Needs 'glass and engine work. |

Our 'other' boat is a '77 Sea Star 15 foot trihull with 80 hp Merc.
Currently for sale if someone here wants a big downgrade. Not a bad boat - we all learned to wakeboard behind it - hopefully there is a market for such a craft. |

The Manta Ray is a cool looking boat and high performance in its day. They went about 50 mph. I only let it go to make the deal I got on the Mustang all the better for my wife. I wish I still had it. really didn't care if I fixed it up. It was a great conversation poece as is. |

Oh yeah my red/gold 76 tahiti is also the spitting image of that 75 tique's baja, especially now that I have the merc back on it.

Riley I had that things brother, a custom craft with the same deck and fins but came down to a single hull point. Eventually gave her away because she was so far down the project list and taking up storage. The manta ray I dont think I would have been able to part with, just too crazy a hull design

Steve, It still looks good!! You need to hand Pam one of those $35 Badger hair brushes so she can learn the varnishing technique!! |

That Higgins is a nice looking boat.
Here's a 1961 Custom Craft Manta Ray that I bought last July. People seem to either love it or hate it. I sold it the weekend I bought my Mustang. I have sellers remorse, but I know I never would have gotten around to restoring it.

Steve, Is that a before or after picture of your Higgins? It's too far away to tell and you haven't mentioned it lately.

Had to laugh at my struggles getting some pictures on. john |

Don't know what this was, think it's a piranha... It had a 50HP merc on it.
My first little boat. Had lots of fun on it (also in the little tow vehicle!!  )

Don't have a picture of my Baja, but here is an identical one. I knew the Baja used checkmate molds but not the Cobra connection. Fun little boat.

Nice collection of old boats. I had something like your Cobra at one time, an 81 Baja. Not quite as low slung, but still a pretty sprightly ride. Here is an old thread you might enjoy, I dont think you were around when it was up. our first boats |

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b126/gtrumpet/Malibu.jpg Here are some pics of my dads 1960 Lonestar 15' Flamingo which is wearing a 1971 merc 800 80 hp. The boat has been in the family since new, it orgianlly wore a 57 or 58 evinrude 35, the merc was bough new in 71 by my dad 
Heres the craziest boat iv'e ever owned, a 1971 Cobra 14' with a 82 merc 115, im told it did more than 60, possibly over 70, I was to busy holding on to the steering wheel, right here its pictured without the liftplate that gave it 8 inches setback and 4 inches of lift on the motors, obviously i sold it
