TOPIC: somone is looking for this type of boat?

I forgot who but here is it if someone want her. seattle.craigslist.org/est/boa/1781583687.html

That was Peter. Good thing his vertical storage rack is nearly finished. I have proclaimed that he may have the world's largest collection of OMC boats.

Thanks Commander!
I do have one of these - He says it's a '64 Johnson Seasport but it's a '65 or 66. Mine is nicer :~)

I dunno about Jim's assessment. I only have 7 including a Dual Deluxe I haven't gone to get yet and a Rogue that's really a parts boat.

There's a place not too far from me that has a couple of old OMC's.... Including this one-

OK - now this one is another story - I do want one of these...this is the early Seasport - you can tell by the single position windshield.
This one is tragic. If you look at the photos the instrument panel is gone...no seats..it's a mess. To restore it would be a Herculean effort.

I'm looking for a one owner or a nice barn find...ideally with the camping tent structure they sold for it.
There was one up in Oconto WI....but it was too much money and the timing wasn't good.

It's easy to have a large collection when you're collecting something nobody else wants :~)

Peter,
So I take it this means I'm a 'nobody'

Didn't realize you had 7 now. Man, when you start digging for stuff, you do an amazing job of finding what you're looking for. Good going!

Sorry Paul
Ok - let me change that - "only the right people want" :~)

But truly - very few people - let's call it that - are interested....and certainly on more than a "good user boat" basis.

I find them fascinating.

Peter- I could check that one out for you, if you have any interest at all. It's been there a while, and could probably be bought for nothing. But, as you mentioned, it needs a LOT.

There will be a day when SOMEONE wants these boats again... Keep 'em, You'll see

Thanks Andrew - I appreciate it!
It's too far to go to get one in that shape...but parts might be another matter should I find one closer in.
