This is my second 1958 Cadillac Constellation that I have completed. This one has a 1959 Scott 40 HP motor.

Boat: Rust-oluem Top Side paint. I mixed the lighter blue color myself. Most of the hardware has been changed out. Polished aluminum hull. Not original steering wheel, slatted floor and pleated vinyl dash. Polished original windshield.

Motor: 1959 Scott 40 HP motor. Rebuilt carburetor, fuel pump, cleaned up and adjusted points. Motor runs great. Rebuild motor controller. Had new decals made for controller. Painted with same Rust-oleum topside paint. Pinstripe on front of cowling. Original Scott gauges painted to mach the boat.

Trailer: Not original to the boat. Completely disassembled, sandblasted, painted and rewired.

I am also looking forward to working on mine, and having the three (3) of them together. But, the Feather Craft Hawk II must be finished and sold first.

No, this is a beehive:

Mine was sold as a Chris Craft beehive stern light, but I think it's a Perko.

Google both:
Perko beehive stern light

Chris Craft beehive stern light

I bought mine on ebay. Not inexpensive, but I think I got a good deal:
