What’s a 1955 Feathercraft 16-6 Riverboat worth? Too far away to inspect, supposedly no leaks, has trailer, no motor, needs floor replaced and trailer needs work?

You need to be closer to the ocean!

Other than the normal places, boattrader, Craigslist, marketplace, etc. Where else should I be looking for a project boat? My goal is 16 ft V but a large modified V would work also (like a 17ft or bigger tracker?). Thanks for your help.

My son went to school in Cambridge! Beautiful place but still has winter!

Panama City Beach, just moved here recently. Where are you at now?

Trailer. We have boat/trailer parking and a boat ramp where we are building.

New to posting, have read through many threads, especially the projects. I am currently boatless. No hurry, we are just starting to build a house so I have to wait until that's done. I'm looking at every brand of welded aluminum boat I can find, but also considering a project. I have had...

Finished the deal today, traded in a motor and sold a bunch of stuff from a pontoon to dock conversion. Gassed up, rods rigged, ready to go in the morning!

A little more info. Was used on a 9.9 lake here in Ohio since late 90s. Traded in on a bigger tracker but kept 9.9 (only had 30 hours). Dealer/engine guy is leaning towards the Yamaha 55, it's a 1990 motor and the 70 horse is a 75 evinrude. I will take another look in two weekends as I am at...

Good video. It sounded like he even mentioned the marina that is selling it - how many Schwarzel marine could there be? I will get the years on the outboards tomorrow. Hopefully I can get there in two weeks to look some more. I didn't feel any soft wood. Unlike an old glass boat with...

Thank you. I did a search but didn't find any specific threads on inspecting a boat. What should I look for specifically? Thanks again

Local dealer has a 1985 Tracker Tournament TX with either a Yamaha 55 (not sure year of motors) or a 70 Evinrude. Yamaha is newer. Price with Yamaha is $2500 and with Evinrude is $2100. He mainly works on engines and says both are good motors. (Schwarzels marine in Hockingport Ohio)...

Thanks or all the tips. Weekend update: put it all back together and started right up. Not sure I have the lean/rich settings figured out. Went for a short oat ride - with oars on hand as back-up!) and ran well for about 10 minutes, then became hard to keep running - if I kept choke on it...

Still need more? I'm in.

I've had for a few years, but finally getting around to old motor and fixing a few things. This is the before pic.

Before pic Have some work to do but did replace bearings and it rolls as it should:)

Super, I'll pull the head and do that this week at home. Thanks for the knowledge! John

Update: Put all back together, put in new spark plugs and top one would not tighten to 20 ft lbs per service manual. I am sure I screwed up and crossthreaded.... was trying to get started - it turned over once, but that was it. Checked spark, bottom was good, nothing from top. so...since I...

Ordered more parts, low speed needle, couple of gaskets, screws, 2nd coil (wondered if anyone noticed in my Christmas pic that I only ordered 1.....). Hopefully this will be it for a while. Carb is rebuilt per service manual. I don't completely understand carbs - but I don't know how this...
