NIce motor, John- I've got 2 '59 larks...

john, ed got the most desired bowlite on this site with that find.

so does anyone know what kind of boat i bought,it has the fake boards in the top deck,john

John - the 59 Larks are wonderful motors; I have four and lots of spare parts. That one looks clean. Brian

Looks like it would have been fun.

andrew how do you like them?i got it because 2 of my boats are 1959 boats,lol.

ron i got the bowlights and cleats,i just have to get them off the boat,lol,the lenses are perfect.

yeah brian every part is with it ,all original,it turns by hand,and was "supposed" to run great last summer.
the crome will clean up nice and the rest will paint up great.

bob yeah its a cool little boat,i wish i knew what it was,im going to sell it ,im in need of a few bucks,lol.
as for the motor after i restore it,and the controls and start plate,i "might" sell it too,but it sure would look great on either the 1959 cutter jet de ville ,or the 1959 herters deluxe flying fish that i have,lol,john

oh yeah and if you buy anything from this guy he will give you one of these,i sure was tempted,lol,john

John,
Great finds and I'm glad you and Ed had a good time. I Know the black and white hulled boat isn't a Glassic but it looks intreguing. Would be a great Chesapeake Bay and Gulf boat. The two tone green one also looked very intersting, nice lines. Although the puppies look tempting, I have an 80lb Black Lab/German Shepard mix (son's dog) and 5 cats so thanks but NO!

Bob

I agree with Bob about the two tone green boat in the last photo. Nice lines for a flat windshield boat. Thank god I live 3000+ miles from there as I sure don't need another project but would still like to know what make it is?

Melanie

Melanie,
After blowing the picture up some it looks like it had a sliding hard top for the back. I can see the slide rails on the inside of the gunwales. Couldn't quite make out the emblem on the side though. Hard to do at work.

Bob

I am not 100% certain but after enlarging the photo there may be a section of the name plate missing. I would love to see a pic of one with the hardtop.

Melanie

thanks bob,the black and white boat i think is a 21 foot,and the black stripe has different color metalflake in it,and its on a great tandum axle trailer.
the two tone green one i glanced at the half of emblem of the name and im darned if i can remember what it said,lol,john

yeah mel,it is kind of cool,i was too engrossed in getting the boat and engine i got,the place is kind of overwhelming,lol.,its way back in the country up in an old strip mine,but if anyone wants something ill get ahold of the fellow thats selling it all,i believe he is getting an old mfg hardtop or cruiser soon.

by the way can anyone identify the boat i got from him,it has the fake wood planking on it,thanks john

My opinion....boat is boring. Motor is a score.

thanks brian i like this motor,and i think the boat is perfect for the lakes around here,they have 20 and 10 hp restrictions,it would be good for that,im just curious what it is

John- I LOVE the larks... Especially that year. I bought my first one because I NEEDED it for my '59 lake N sea, and bought the other because, well- I NEEDED it too! They were both in great shape. One had some minor issues with it- I suspect that it needs new coils- but the guy I bought it from didn't like tomess with motors and all the shops around here charge big bucks to work on old motors...

You have to love the little fins on the '59 cowl...

yeah the more i looked at it yesterday ,the cooler it looked,all the badges are there ,the only thing i could see that needs replaced are the wires that go to the battery,but that doesnt mean it wont need other stuff,lol,john

He have anything you think I might be interested in. He must be some what close to me too, and I need a new project, I am bored with this one
I might sell soon
