Who makes this Boat??
Was just recently given this boat, but the guy did not know the maker. Anybody have a clue?
Thank You Zooker, Here are some more pictures. I removed the side console and there was nothing on the left side of the transcom. The one picture attached is from the right side. I hope you can identify it from these pictures. Thank you so much for helping. I know it needs alot of work, but hopefully I will be on the water this spring. Oh it is fiberglass Last edited by vawebman; 01-31-07 at 12:26 PM. Reason: Adding Pictures |

Zooker would be the one to know the answer to this question. I would bet my bottom dollar on it.
That man is filled with so much boat knowledge that it puts the boat manufacturers to shame.

I will post them tomorrow. I know the boat was made in 1975 and had Johnson 65HP outboard motor on it.
Thanks |

check all the floor. soft spots means rot. mount the moter on the transome grab ahold of it and try to wiggle it up and down. if it moves more than just a lil bit the transome is thrashed and replacement is needed..
i will get back to up i have a friend digging in some deep dark dank hole for info..he only owns 12-13 classic boats..thought i had it bad with 3 boats but dam.. a 65 johnny is a 2 stroke 2 cycinder-got to add oil to the gas- perhaps one of the few years johnny's were bullet proof.. i have a 71 johnson.. zooker
