Look what followed me home today
 

Drove by and the sign on it said free...well of course after much soul searching and thinking of what the wife would say I threw caution to the wind and hitched it up. Good part is that the owner came out gave me the sails and title

It's missing a few things but most of it is there

Needs a rudder and something to attach the mast to the boat..some kind of quick connect thing.

Just what I need another project.

Goes to show it not confined to Seacrafts

A great example of what our disease does to us, not to mention our wives.

Have fun with it.

Good find, it will be loads of fun! If you go to the Dwyer Mast website they will have most of your rigging needs including the tabernacle that your missing. I might even have a spare rudder and tiller that I could send you. Good luck with the project.

Let me know if you have it and what the shipping cost are

Im in Miami. Zip is 33156

Thank you for your offer

Will look for it tomorrow, take some photos and measurements.
Rod

That's like seeing a box with a free puppy in it, how do you not take it?

A little soap and water and it cleaned up nicely. A compound and wax will really make it shine

Very nice! Found the rudder last night will post pictures in a little while.
Rod

Ain't it the truth? Not only did my wife go along with the old Seacraft project, but within 6 months she brings this home as a companion. It doesn't need much and will give me a chance to brush up on my glass skills.

Here's a photo of the rudder and tiller. I'll add dimensions later. CRS struck again:(
Rod

Looks like it would work. May need to adjust the pins but looks like it would work

I'll pm you my address so you can get some shipping costs

Thanks

Jorge

Jorge, is that an old Lido 14? looks like its in pretty sweet shape:cool:

I have to say that the members here are great. Rod saw my post of the sail boat and a part I was missing and offered to send me the tiller for just the shipping costs. I received it today and boy was it nice and fit perfectly

Again thanks rod

Very glad you could use it! I hope you and your family have many wonderful sails:)

Very kind of you Otter.
With sail locker.

I think you're right Gillie. Or maybe a Ray Green 14 or 16.

It['s a 14 O'day javelin

Haha
 

Disease is correct, i had a lil 60s Glaspar G3 classic speed boat follow me home last fall. ������

G3's were a target of mine for years!
 

A G3 with a 60 - 75 hp on the back would FLY in those days! Always wanted one, but as a ski boat it was tough because on a slalom you could pull it out unless there was enough hp.

I had a 1962 Barracuda speedboat, 13' long. Had a old corvette looking windshield. I hung a new Johnson 60hp with tilt & trim. Couldn't get the speedo working so had a guy in a bass boat come along side and said he would give me some speeds. We tooled along and he gave me some speeds and then I let it go until I got scared! He said when I let out of it I was doing 63 mph....at 2/3 throttle! Years later I put a small shaft 50 on it and actually used it a lot. I love old boats, cars and trucks!

Cool find - is that a Chrysler Buccaneer?

14 Oday Javelin

Cool - if you need any other parts, D&R Marine in New England stocks almost the whole boat parts for O'Days. Here is the link for Javelin parts:

I used them extensively for my ODay Daysailer, and Rudy there was very knowledgeable.
