70 Mustang Trailer Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Buy and Sell Forum Name: Boat Parts Wanted Forum Discription: Parts wanted only URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9719 Printed Date: November-19-2024 at 8:13pm Topic: 70 Mustang Trailer Posted By: 70mustangky Subject: 70 Mustang Trailer Date Posted: February-26-2008 at 1:20am I just purchased a 70 mustang on a homemade trailer. The trailer came apart while it was being brought up to me by the transporter and the boat came off the trailer. Insurance should cover it but if not I will need a trailer and a rudder for this boat. If anyone has one in southeast that will work let me know. Thanks Replies: Posted By: TRBenj Date Posted: February-26-2008 at 4:02pm Chad, welcome. How bad is the trailer damaged? Depending on how rough it is, another trailer may cost more than it would to fix what you have. Im a big fan of originality, but that homemade job looks pretty similar to a CC trailer. On another note, cool boat. It looks to have a Holman-Moody 302. Make sure you go through it thoroughly- I dont think the distributor is a marine unit, and the carb may not be either. Also check the alt, starter and fuel lines. Non-marine parts are a serious safety hazard. ------------- Posted By: boat dr Date Posted: February-26-2008 at 10:08pm Chad , where are you located?????? ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier Posted By: 70mustangky Date Posted: February-27-2008 at 8:22pm I am located in Paducah, KY.

Thanks Pull the flame arrestor off the carb and see if it has J-tubes like this: You can get marine parts from places like http://skidim.com/ - SkiDIM or http://summitracing.com/ - Summit Racing. ------------- Posted By: 70mustangky Date Posted: February-27-2008 at 11:26pm Thanks for the info.
