Re: I found a 65 Bowrider!
 

As reported a couple of years ago on this site, I have a 1965 bowrider, hull #315, that my father bought new. I bought it from him in 1975. Still has the original block, Chevy 6 cyl, 150 hp, and orginal outdrive, type 1C. Have thousands of hours on it, and it still runs great. Hull number is on a tag where you step into the bow seat. I have all the original paperwork, and still remember the day Dave Shannon, Carl Mosely's assistant demoed the boat to us. I was a teenager with a drivers license, and I couldn't wait to use the boat.

Carla.. my hull number is #359..... and the year is 1967

Re: I found a 65 Bowrider!.. Hey CarlaMF
 

Thanks Don for the info on your hull number.

By any chance, do you still have the Sea Craft emblems on your boat? Mine were lost somewhere in the 41 years of history before I bought, and I'd like to find one & somehow make a mold & recast it. Got one?

Carla, do you mean these?

I was wondering about trying to repair or replace those too.

I don't want everyone thinking I'm in a SeaCraf 13 after all......

I love those Seacraft 19 decals on "Lady"

Rockdoc....Those are the ones!! If I can find a 'complete' emblem, then I'm sure I can get it cast & make more...a pair for you if interested. Looks like you've got a good '19'. That's a start!

Yes, I do have the tape 'Sea Craft 19' on the aft sides, but that will be lost when she gets a new paint job.

Got any more pictures? She maybe showing her age (until you finish fixing her up) but she's still beautiful!

More pix?

Re: I found a 65 Bowrider!..
 

Carla... I still have mine and they are complete. But they are a bit differant then Roc's, mine are one piece including the "19"

Re: I found a 65 Bowrider!..
 

Sounds like the VERY original set!!!! I am sooooo envious! Have any pictures of them? Next, the tough question...can one be removed without damaging anything?

Re: I found a 65 Bowrider!..
 

Yeah..they are just pop riveted to the boat. I'll get a few pics today and post later..
