TOPIC: there only original once heres a super nice Shell

I bought this today its a one owner 1958 Shell lake Dart 14. It was repowered in about 1975 with the Merc 50 HP, I love those motors. Are men judged my the size of there horns? Check out the plaid interior. The gel coat in like new no blems, the windsheild has a small crack in it. The trailer is a Mastercraft all original paint. What a time capsule. Wish it was a Rocket with fins, o well it still is cool in my mind. O and the motor runs perfect,hope to get a one last nice day for a ride in her. Thanks for looking the Merckid

How come I can't find stuff like that around here? I found this red band Merc 650 on a tri hull And Seabird trailer $200. The seat cushions on my grandparents Herters Flying Fish had tha same plaid pattern. I helped wear out the two Mercs on it. 58 Mk 30 and then a nice 66 Merc 500 Those 50s are sweet motors.

Congrats on the Shell Lake Merckid, super nice find! I hope you do get at least one more decent day to take a ride.
