I didn't know that these boats from my childhood had such a following. My lastest project is a '59 Jet Deville. Putting a '58 Evinrude Fifty on it. For some reason my pics won't load, I'll try another time. Larry Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Thanks for the welcome. Here's my present project. '59 Jet Deville.

As found. The windshield will get replaced, the motor replaced, transom rebuilt, new paint, and upholstery. Won't be done this year, next year for sure.

This is my main Fiberglassic. 1969 Owens Concorde 27. She does her best to keep me broke. This one was free to a good home. Three years to get her seaworthy, two more to finish.

Great looking boat Larry. Nice Job. I have just purchased (subject to a survey tomorrow) a 1969 27 foot Owens Flagship that appears virtually identical to your vessel. The only difference I can see is that where the plate on yours says Concorde, mine says Owens. Can you tell me the beam of your boat and the power?

I am attaching a picture of my Owens.

Regards

Erik
