TOPIC: Just dragged a 18' Owens Cuddy home

Just got this today! I think its a 1961 Owens Cuddy Cabin. It measures 18' long, The model number is 1850, if anyone has any insight please feel free to chime in. Its in pretty decent shape. Its gonna need most all of the wood replaced as one would suspect. Looking for any info on it if anyone has any.

This pic is it sitting next to a 21' Boston Whaler.

TN,
Nice find. Good project.

Thanks! Im reasonably certain its sitting on a Holsclaw trailer, and the motor is a 1966 Johnson 100 horse, it appears all there. Just really grubby.

TN : CONGRATS , you have my vote of the day. Nice lines , will be very useful in your area. .Weather forecast during week is 3 days in lower 70's. Will have some time for clean out ,check out.
... Should pick up a 17footer tomorrow, only about 8 miles away, down river. YES, colors of a Holsclaw trl. How about nice bow deck pic when you wash off .? PLEASE.

Yeah no problem, I will get some more pics as soon as I get it cleaned up a bit.

Nice Owens. I miss my 59 Flagship 29 often. That is a great little boat. The 100 Meteor is a good motor too. Just be sure you get or it has power trim.

Here's an image of a 1961 Owens ad that I borrowed off ebay awhile back:

the two hulls although different materials looks the same. Nice boat.

Thanks for the scan! I did some cleaning and the boat is in pretty good shape, its going to need a floor and transom. But I think I can do everything but the transom without removing the upper deck, I haven't decided on how to go about replacing the wood in the transom.
