TOPIC: 1962 Dorsett El Rey

Well people here is my new project. I purchased it from the original family that bought it new in 62. It has a 62 Mercury 1000, first year. Engine rolls over great but I am waiting for a new water pump kit before I try to start it. Does ANYONE have pictures of an El Ray with original fabric, I would like to put it back to original. The pic are how and where condition when I picked it up. Hull, transom, stringers and floor are all solid and the boat I would say is 99% there. Tell me what you think

Welcome aboard JD, looks like you found a nice one there! Have you checked out the Dorsett section in the FG Library?

(May not be much help with interior pics, but some good stuff there.)

Nice Nice Nice, cool lil kicker to match,and a roof for the hot sunny days it rains!!!

OOOOOooooo.... NICE!
Next best thing to fins.

Welcome aboard. I feel you got a real nice rig there.

Unfortunately i did not get the kicker, I could not see a way to mount it and the 1000. I do have the controls for the kicker which I will put up on ebay soon.I did get the original soft top which is gold and made from which looks like convertable top material. Pics to follow

jdlease,

NEAT BOAT and WELCOME ABOARD.
