Hi Everyone,
Well, I just purchased my first boat, a 1966 14' Mirrocraft with console steering. Here are some pictures taken at the home of the guy I purchased it from:
She's powered by a 1966 Johnson 20 hp with electric start, and a 1963 6 hp Mercury "Merc 60" as a backup:
I plan on cleaning up and painting the outboards, along with thoroughly checking them out, but they crank easily and appear to run fine at first glance.
As to the boat, she'll get cleaned up and painted. I'd also like to deck her out but haven't decided on the layout yet. Any and all suggestions are welcome. By the way, capacity is listed as 600 lbs.
I look forward to participating here; it seems to be a terrific group of folks!
Regards,
Mark
