It’s painted red, the stripe was white
It was eighteen feet, from the bow to stern light
Secondhand, from a dealer in Minnesota
I rode up with daddy, when he went there to get her
… Put on a shine, put on a motor
Built out of love, made for the water….
What a unit . Thanks for sharing
Notice the tie downs on the trailer, strap steel with a wing nut, the trailer is made with a channel in it so the entire keel sits in it, that boat aint going anywhere going down the road.
The nephew did tell me it was a sob to load and keep straight, I told him now that it has power tilt and trim to not back in the trailer so far and power load it to see if that helped, back then the motor didnt have power tilt and trim and it would raise the bow every time you added the least bit of power making it difficult to see over the top.
I also love the fifties style fenders, cant be many of these around anymore.
I also told them to find an old Apache pick up or wagon to pull it with, the nieces eyes lit up but hubby shut her down real quick reminding her they just got done building a house lol.
Nice rig!!
Oooh, they need to paint the Suzi cream to match the boat!

Ran her for years til the transom got rotten,
A piece of my childhood that’ll never be forgotten
one of my favorite songs of his 
Dang that boat is cool, Sheldon! One of those times when there is no question the motor needs to be white.
Thanks everyone!
Who sings that song you guys are quoting?? Sadly I have never heard of it.

Alan Jackson. Drive.
That restoration looks great Sheldon
That boat really needs a white Kiekhaefer Mercury. Just for the sound and the delicious smell of 2 stroke oil.
Grouse, I have to agree with you!!
Okay folks, I have a doozy coming in,,,,for the third time and the sad part is the gentleman lives four hours away.
I have never seen anything like it before and I cant wait to get my hands on it as it is from what I gather, a quality control issue where a human factor is involved and that human no longer works there.
I will call this man Ken, and Ken has been more than understanding about it.
I even got the company to compensate me for his fuel costs to and from my shop twice!! including my labor!!
I really want to go fishing with him and his wife, sounds like she is a fishing machine!!!
Stay tuned folks, this could be one for the books!!
Once this is resolved and it will be I promise you I will give a huge shout out to the company who I have stood with and they have stood behind me for many years.
Ohh getting my popcorn ready……….
