NoBones... We just may have to pick a date for the "NoBones Jungle Rehab Gathering'! ... and display the CSC Banner too! You're yard is big enough, we can just pop tents ... and Patti can be the designated photographer!

With Snookerd and Bushwacker and others helping, we'll get these boats knocked out in no time!

The trailer under the 62 is the original trailer. Restorable? Capt. Chuck, thanks for offering your 23' trailer, might keep us from 'launching' on I-95 trip north.

Bushwacker... good idea to contact Jax & see what I can find out about the original cabin set up.

Rich...I don't know in total how many were made. Started being built in 1962, and I've got #71 (I think from title numbers) and they were built for several years after that. Several were built as raceboats, and in the early 60's, all raceboats had to be stock boats as sold to the general public, which meant windshields, potty's, etc. Several were built for Kiekhaefer (head of Merc at the time) for his racing team, a few others built for other racing teams, and like this one, built for Johnson & Kirby to promote their engines/dealership, several for agencies, and then there was the general public. And as Denny said, his friend in 1965 had a 10-month waiting list.

I'm sure there's not too many left today, probably most left by the roadside, owners not realizing that their boat may look like sh** (like ours), but the hull is still solid (inspected by Moesly himself) and everything else is 'fixable'.

Bushwacker... beautiful pictures & beautiful memories. I look forward to doing the same after the "NoBones Jungle Rehab Gathering!"
