    14' 1955 Orlando Clipper

    Trying to get some progress made on the trailer this weekend. The guide rollers were hard, brittle, and stuck. The old bunks were on a pivot and in desperate need of replacing. Also, they didn't reach the rear of the boat--stopping about a foot shy. In replacing these, I'm looking at...

    Bow Eye for my Orlando Clipper

    Thanks for the replies. I think for now, I will make things work with the existing eye, and add a safety chain. I've got some work to do before it goes back on the trailer anyhow.

    Bow Eye for my Orlando Clipper

    I guess there are two schools of thought here. I grew up with the understanding that the bow Eye was to sit below the bow stop. This way, in the event of an emergency stop, your boat did not end up in the bed of your truck. However, in either arrangement, I guess this is what the safety chain is...

    Bow Eye for my Orlando Clipper

    I've used the search bar, google, and historical manufacturers data to no avail, so here goes. I'm trying to figure out the best route to take as far as a bow eye on my Clipper. It has an eye built in to the top of the bow; however, this doesn't cater well to having the bow stop above the eye...

    14' 1955 Orlando Clipper

    Sold my 1232 Jon, in hopes to get something a little bigger over the winter to get read for spring, and found/bought this the same day. The previous owner had it listed and registered as a 1970 Jon Boat. Unknown make/model. After being pointed in the right direction with help from the...

    What do I have here?

    From looking at the charts it looks like this, as all with the first two numbers have in common: 52 - width in inches at transom 14 - length in feet (rounded) 357 - Not sure (your count of production sounds good)

    What do I have here?

    Thank you so much! This information was very helpful, and it would have taken me a long time to get this. I'd never even heard of that manufacturer before. I did find a number on the back right of the transom... 52-14-357, and I think I've narrowed down to '54-'56.

    What do I have here?

    Well, registration got approved. Stickers are in the mail. That was a lot less hassle than I expected. Now to figure out what I've actually got. I'll add some more pictures in a bit.

    What do I have here?

    Thanks for the reply. I did get a bill of sale yesterday with the boat, as I knew I needed that to register here in Georgia. Owner didn't have a copy of registration, but I was able to contact Alabama today and they emailed it to me. Had no details on the make/model, just the year--1970...
