Crosby boats

My brother is planning on getting married, probably next summer, and the topic of wedding gift came up the other day and someone joked about me probably giving them a boat! We'll that got the wheels turning. . .

We moved out to the lake 10 years ago and Ben (brother) spotted a Crosby outboard boat and fell in love. Once a summer he'll go ask the owner for a ride and he always mentions it when we drive by. . .

SO. . . I've found a 1959 Crosby outboard about 30 min away and am toying with the idea of trying to get it and give her a restore for his gift! I think this will have to be a joint effort by a few close friends but I'm sure it would be a great gift and a great first boat for the newly weds!

Here's a pic from the seller. . .



I know it's not a Correct Craft but think of it as a stepping stone untill I can get them hooked on Correct Crafts!

Nice looking boat Chris,but I would have bet it was a '60's boat,no fins! If you end up with her and need Merc parts,check here old merc parts I have used them in the past and thay had what I needed for our 1950 and 1964 Merc's
