Inspired by this site, here I go. Picked up a 1959 Cherokee with a 1965 Evinrude 33hp ski twin.
I live in Ft Myers FL and saw this in Knoxville, it was just was I was looking for so a 26 hour road trip later here I am. What appears to be a 50+ year old trailer made the trip without a hitch (pun intended) so Im off to a good start.
The boat appears to be incredibly intact. Controls on the front, original decals still on the boat, seats, you name it. It was obviously a well cared for boat.
My plan is to start in the back, get the motor right then move on to cosmetics. I'm on a tight budget so its going to be all about mechanical first. Its not a restoration, I want to fish from it and I know there are far far better boats to fish from but I like this one.
