TOPIC: shell lake boat company

i am new to your site but have already found it very informative. i have recently aquired a shell lake boat company boat. thanks to your forum i believe it is a 1958 runabout rocket. it has a mercury 700 outboard. 6cyl. two stroke. dont know if it runs yet. i built a stand for it and got it in the garage for inspection. it seems to be structurually sound. the transome is solid as well as all the other wood pieces i can see. the glass is almost perfect other than the terrable purple spray paint job.

Welcome aboard mightymet, hope to see some pics of your Rocket soon. We love pics around here, but you've probably already figured that out right!? There are some really knowledgeable and helpful folks around here that will be glad to help you get her back on the water, I'm sure.

Welcome aboard mightymet.
Keep us up to date with pics and let us follow your progress.

this outboard looks in good shape but is in need of new wiring and fuel lines. not sure if i am going to use it or not.
