TOPIC: Shopping 10 15' 1962 Seaswirl/Mark 55A

Got some snow shots today. $500 takes it all. Maybe he will throw in a lawnmower!
Turns out that he bought it from a gentleman that I know. The guy is meticulous with his machinery. It should be in good shape except for the last six years of weather.
Monkey Wards trailer with skirts, Mark55A, canvas top, 482 pounds of snow and a new trailer jack. 15 feet of fun.

I have a similar Montgomery Wards trailer under the Glen-L Missile. They are built VERY strong. Mine has shocks and springs. I was able to find replacement shocks at NAPA that were the correct length and extension. Had to go through the catolog but they were only $25 ea. Lots of steel in that trailer.

Also, I see the boat is in Idaho. If you're near Idaho Falls I can give you a line on a Power Cat 14C or 15C. Almost went off the road when I saw it. Another derelict and probably available for hauling it away, but very savable. Wish I could get it, but just too far to go...unless your name is Doug Young.

I heard that!

Idaho Falls is 500 miles away from me. I would take a look at it for sure if you could get me the info and/or pics. Thanks.
Powercat or a G3 would be great.
I missed out on a free G3 just 40 miles away. It showed up on Craigslist and when I called they said it left about 2 hours ago. Bummer.

What do you think of the 55A? I am really not interested in the boat, but could turn the trailer easy and keep the Merc for myself.
That in my eyes is just a beautiful little 4 cyl. Merc.

I'm thinking I could get it for a little under his $500 asking.
I also have a standing offer on a 75 Trihull with a running 115 Tower for $400. One of those bring the money anytime and take it cause it ain't goin' nowhere kind of things.
Decisions, decisions.
Boats, boats. I'm out of control! Got six in the shop. HELP
