1957 Wood boat Chris-Craft? Ford flathead V-8 60
Description
I believe this to be a Chris Craft 14' outboard kit boat as my father built one like it in the 50s. I have no way to prove that it is. One viewer sugested it might be a Higgons. It is very cool regardless and we hoped to build it to tow behind my son's 50 Merc woody wagon. It has always been kept inside and the hull, bottom and transom look very good. It does need paint and the deck repaired or replaced. I have new Mahogney wood boards that go with it. The engine is a 1939 or1940 Ford V8 60 HP Eddy Myer heads, intake with two 81 Strombergs and runs very good but needs tuned of course. The engine does not have the tin sides. It has a forward gearbox with reverse. It comes with the trailer and will tow with tires & bearings checked 1 7/8" ball hitch. I would pack the bearings. Pick up only but will store indoors until pickup. Located in Gibbon NE. For more info. or photos. E-mail or call 970 2271171 Dwight Bond
