TOPIC: going for the 59 cutter avon hardtop/650 merc

well,im just getting ready to go get eds 1959 cutter avon,with sliding hardtop.
we are also going to get a 650 merc that looks great,we have to take it off of a larson lapline.
plus ed gave me the 1959 herters deluxe flying fish,pics when i get home,john

Good for you John! Keep up the good work. And yes, we all want to see pictures of your haul.

Frank

well we saved another from being smashed besides the flying fish,here is the cutter avon ,the 1st pic is of ed gordon ,with the fellas that helped load it and that we bought it from,boy am i glad they were there,we had to load it backwards,and even with a 2000 lb winch and 5 guys it was tough to load.
there are7 pictures (im on dialup)
ed and my mom with the cutter neat kainer wheel 650 merc,we took it off of a larson lapline can anyone tell what year it is,by these limited pics the 59 flying fish deluxe is at my house ,thanks ed and mom.and my dog "yukon"does not look impressed,lol. oh and a funny thing,the motor had a lock that covered the tightening handles,it took about 1/2 an hour to break it off,then when the guy "jim"that sold us the boat ,pushed the seat out of his way,there were the keys.

Looks like a great haul John. Should be a merc # on a plate on the top front of the swivel.

Good luck!

John - If you need it, I have a Cutter Avon hardtop...not the boat, just the hardtop. Yours if you can use it.
