new project

[SumDumGuy]

Picked up a new project the other day. Kind of a weird experience in that my wife was totally ok with it. She's even breaking out money for renovations.
Perhaps it was the small v on the lake when the wind came up that adjusted her thinking about a "new" boat.

This is a 1967 Crestliner Flying Crest with a 60hp v4 Evinrude. It is definately running the course of BOAT.

If anyone has any info on the boat or motor let me know.

So, I decided to give it a paint job.

Handsome paint job! Sixteen foot? How's the engine?

Wife needs a present, I'm thinking. Maybe a reclining lounge chair built into the new craft?

I'd say, you did well.

the motor runs surprisingly well. I am suspecting that the fuel pump may need to be rebuilt 'cause it's a little weak and the fuel tank is in the front (need to pump the bulb for a bit after it has started before it will reliably draw).

I am "finished" with the boat (at least for now)...
