Mickeyc here,
Here are a few pictures of the boat I recently aquired. I believe it to be a 1948 or 49 utility? These pictures show the overall boat as well as some inside hull pictures, guages,various trim and the powertrain. Please email or send me any messages regarding the pictures. The entire structure including the hemi will be placed on Ebay very soon.I may consider parting the boat out, including the trailer if enough intrest is shown. Thanks Mickeyc Mickeyc32@hotmail.com

John, I have always monitored the old wood hull sales on ebay and have noticed that it really isn't the best place to market a older wood boat. I'd have to say that unless the price is very low, most do not sell. You may want to consider a classified ad in the ACBS's Rudder magazine or the same in Classic Boating. That will get you directly to the market you want. I will say however that the boat will be a hard sell especially now with the bad ecomomy. The people with the big bucks going for a "gray" boat restore will also be looking for the big name old boats.
BTW, the engine isn't the original and you are off on the years. To me it looks like a about a 55 or 56 and may be one of the very last fully planked models CC made. Later planking was done over plywood. I feel that it is a 18' Commuter. ------------- /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 < |

Hello Pete,
Iam new to computer communicating, so Ihope iam using your correct name. I thank you for your reply. I had no idea what the vintage of this craft might be, but thought it resembled the one called the Three Amigos in general hull shape and configuration? If you notice the shot of the transom you will see where the original single exhaust was blocked off I realise that the motor is not original. Upon further inquiries Iwas able to determine that the motor is a1955 or 54 model,331cuin. The heads carry 1954 numbers, but the block is a short type that came out in 1955 Chrysler may very well have used different year components during assembly. Anyway I bought the boat for motor parts for a hotrod. the motor has the high performance 2x4carbs and adjustable rockers that Chrysler builders like. I will probably strip the hardware and junk the hull Iwas just wanting to make it avaible in case some one had an interest. Ads in the publications you mentioned are somewhat expensive and I realy do not want to sink much morre money into this item. I saw an add in this forum in the parts wanted for copper exhaust pipes. The pipes on this craft are some type of metal either copper or brass? I sanded a small spot and it appeared to be brass, but Iam not certain. The throught hull fittings are stainless steel and are nicely made with a rubber o ring system to seal them to the transom. The pipes are 8'x3'' and with the hull fittings would make avery nice exhaust system. Might look good on my 32 ford coupe? I will look into your suggestions for ad placements. I thank you and also thank the forum for making communications with people with these interests available , Mick |

hmm... Pete, would those step plates be correct for my Atom? If so, are you willing to part with them Mick?

Hello Nate, Mick here, Ihave four of the mentioned plates, but no inserts for them. Iam pursuing a few others venues concering this vessel.So far not much interest shown. If nothing develops soon, I will let them go for whatever is reasonable for this type stuff. Iwill post when I begin to strip this vessel, thank you for your interest. |

Nate, Yes, the step pad frames are the correct ones. The rubber inserts before about 55 or 56 were black and with the old style script. I got reproductions for mine. The guy who was casting them from urethane has retired and moved to Hawaii and I don't know what happened to his side business with the pads. I'll have to do some research. Nate, do you have any pads? ------------- /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 < |

No, i've got no step pads or windshield. So the chrome step pad frames would be a good step for me, & then I've gotta find either some era correct windshield brackets, or some as close as possible brackets.

Hello Munday,
I will measure the wind shield tomorrow. The photos don't show the glass very well, I think it is plexi. The frame has fastners tohold it to the deck, but the ones I see on other boats seem to have a metal piece along the bottom of the glass this one does not, it may be missing. the glass has scratches in it and may be good for a pattern only. also when the guy Igot the boat from tossed the frame into the hull he caused achecking effect in the glass that Iam sure is not repairable. I just want every to be assured I will give accurate discriptions and in formation as well as I can. Thanks Mick |
