Looking for an original set of bucket seats and frames for the front and back of the boat as well as an original rear ski pull ring for the rear. I am also looking for an original foot throttle and dash mounted shifter. Or a good old morse single lever shifter for side mounting. I am also looking for replacement rubber step pads and frames for my boat.

Peter,
You're still looking for that rear deck ski pull after all these years? Once more, they don't exist! The Skylarks had the center pylons if so equipped just like all the other models!! Remember that "thing" a PO replaced the rear lift ring is not a pull. He may have thought it was, but the mounting is not designed for anything except a vertical pull/lift.

Keep it original, Pete

Actually not after all these years but yes. I think I remember someone, maybe even you, saying they don't exist but have since forgotten. So what about a Center Mount Pull? I guess I can change my AD to reflect that. I had actually found and installed but not connected a Chris Craft Console gear lever to replace the original and a foot throttle and I had even had ready to go a nice old single lever morse shifter and cable assembly ready to go and a Center Pull from an old ChrisCraft Continental that I was going to figure out how to mount. With a center fiberglass bench seat it would have made it much easier but I never mounted that either. The boat was fixed with a new rudder assembly and rudder and a new strut shaft for the old CC. It was an OEM replacement parts. The boat runs well and what I did was sell the boat. Sold it for $2800 and the two kids who purchased it removed the old glass center and built some crappy heavy wood frames for front seating. The parts I included were basically tossed out and never used. They had a fuel tank leak one day and while at the dock proceeded to start the boat and the bilge blew and blew off the fiberglass engine cover into the water. A fire started but they got it out fast. They then put the boat in storage and never touched it again for a few years. I found out and to make a story shorter purchased it back for $500 bucks. Still running very well but needing some wiring replaced and a new tank. Got the wiring replaced and a new poly tank installed. Nice. Way better than original. I can now boat in peace. I still need the parts once again that were removed and tossed. I was actually quite angry because it took me a year and a half or so to source the parts an get the boat fixed in the first place. The boat is undamaged from the small fire. For that I glad. But I still need parts.

I'd like either another fiberglass bench seat and rear matching or the original for that model aluminum framed bucket seats and rear bench. I at least need frame work. I can pay for shipping which will be no problem. I'd like to find another console shifter or another nice old Morse Single lever side shifter. Either will do. I do want and need a center pylon that is ready to mount on the boat and all the proper support hardware as well. Price is not a issue.

Pete :)

Thanks for reminding me that the rear is not a Ski Pull but lift ring only. Got it. I won't forget.

I have a rear Tow / Lift ring.

Mine was designed for towing recreational skiers and lifting.
But you'll have to inspect your internal mountings to make sure it's still valid for either.

Does your Skylark have a front bench or buckets? I assume the latter.

If so, then you should be building wood based seat frames, not looking for aluminum ones. Those werent used until 1969.
