thetudor Topic Author Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1204 Karma: 33 Thank you received: 2	Just for fun... Right now, what would be your ideal classic boat to find and restore? For me, barring something like that South Seas Samoan with the hard top in an earlier post, it would be a Custom Craft Delta Ray Express Cruiser. That has everything I would like except fins.

This is a production boat from former East-Germany { DDR }
The brand name is " Original Schneider" and the modell is "Monsun",from 1954 to 1960 only 9 were made. All with 2 stroke, 23 Hp inboard engines.In 1963 a customer came to the shipyard and ordered a "Monsun" that was still out of production. It had to be custom made for him and it had to be the fastest Original Schneider at that time.

So, Wolfgang Schneider built this boat with hullnumber 605 to customers wants. It has a 70 Hp 2 stroke motor and runs 37,5 mph!
The boat is only 14Ft and full mahagony.The weight is less than 550 Lbs.

All fully documented and I had this boat restored in 2003 by Wolfgang Schneider who built it in 1963.

Looks like Neil and I would have to fight it out over a Chris cobra if one 'appeared', since it's been my 'dream boat' for years. When it comes to 'Glassics, though, I'm LUCKY- I've got my dream boat- The Lake N Sea Caribbean. I guess I'm just easy to please, But I've always thought that the Lake N Seas is the Epitome of late 50's styling, and is just over the top enough to be a really cool boat without being too extreme in it's styling. C"mon, now- You've GOT to love that transom!

Taco,
Now that's an awesome boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But of course like I said earlier I'm a sucker for wood boats. Would love to see some pics of her in action if you have any.

John, Thanks, that's what I get for just sending a quick comment and not looking at how it reads before hitting send! Maybe I should have said the wife is!

Hello Bob,

I have only 2 fiberglass/wood boats and the others are woodies. I like the finned fiberglass boats as much as the woodies but they are hardly available in Europe. Before the 70`s not many were imported.

Here are some pics of the "Monsun" in action. It runs smooth at top speed and makes incredible turns.

Taco.

Thanks Bob,

It is absolutely one of my favorites. At the moment we are working on another "dreamboat" that I wanted for a long time and finally found for sale in Pittsburgh.

This is the wood/fiberglass 1958 Chris Craft Silver Arrow. Yesterday we put the new Ford 312 interceptor back in place after the repair and re-painting of the hull, which was badly damaged due to an accident in Baltimore harbour.

I will post some more pictures when the boat is ready for the water.

Taco.
