    WOW another one !!

    Add yet another of the original 14 made from the Baby molds. They all had the provision for the windshield. The windshield looks cool, I agree Buz. This one REALLY looks original. Even the steering wheel is original. How cool is that.img066.jpg

    Same windshield on the brochure boat. No one has found the port helm Volvo brochure boat yet have they? Almost the same windshield Don put on the early cig 19/20 he must have thought it cool too

    Panel

    There is a small Mercruiser sticker at the bottom of the panel. Mine had a sticker but it was not in great condition. I just peeled it off.

    For some reason, I think I have one of those panels sitting up at my camp.

    Brock Yates of Cannonball fame had an F-14 up on the St Lawrence.

    I believe it went to auction at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton.

    Yes there is mercruiser on bottom of instrument cluster. I am amazed at how that has held up being outside for this time. If you would like a close up photo of cluster let me know. I am happy to share some of the details of originality to help others in the group. Mercruiser 120 outdrive. I have located a shop that has a couple pre alpha outdrives in Wisconsin where I am from. The power trim pump motor is lock up. I have to take that apart and get it free or I found used units on eBay for reasonable little money. First thing is pickup leaves in the yard. I thought the windshield is cool as well. The starboard side back corner of windshild is cracked (sucks). I may be able to shorten both sides or find someone to make new ones. Not sure. I was going to move it out of the garage and power wash it. I have only had it a couple weeks. The fact that the engine runs a bit on ether is amaising to me.

    really look at the bow eye the number may have been written on the wood backer first then it was placed and glassed in. the glass may need to be removed to see it.

    good luck

    Matty,

    Will check closer at the bow eye once the deck is off. Can't get up there otherwise, just too crammed under the deck. I am just deciding on who to do a full restore with - 3 quotes...pricey endeavor!

    PS: anyone know someone on the site mechanically inclined and near Oakridge NJ? I need an engine eyeballed if anyone is willing and able
