    Default Identifying ski boat

    I have recently acquired my late fathers ski boat. He built it in the mid to late 50's and was last registered in 64. The boat has been stored in a shed since then, motor still turns (by turning prop) and no rot can be found.

    I intend to restore-repaint and rebuilt motor, and was interested to know if anyone knew what design it was built around :confused: , or any other forum members with similar boats.

    Length 16"
    Flat head ford V8, optional rats nest included.
    Marine ply and Oregon (I think) construction.
