TOPIC: 1959 15' Anthony Hydroplane - $550 Merc 700 ?

Is that Mercury 700 a doc buster motor or does it have reverse?

The 700 on that Anthony is a FGS model. A quick giveaway is the wrap-a-round "tin" below the lower cowling. The Dockbuster doesn't have that and you can see the recesses in the exhaust tower for the powerhead mounting hardware.

That's a cool boat, but on good authority it's in horrible condition. To where a fellow looking to restore an Anthony passed it up, 'cause it was too far gone.

So, the value would be in the motor and maybe trailer.

HTH......ed

Thanks for the info, guess thats why the pics are so blurry

As usual. On the wrong side of the country.
