I wonder if that is the same Herters that I once mail ordered fishing rods and gun power from back in the 70's.
I actually love that boat and would love to have one like it. My idea is to put an inboard 350 with over the transom pipes.......build a "Rat Fink" old boat with wings.......
What a cool boat! ! ! !

I see some collector pieces there. I agree with Harry, that could be a cool boat. You could drag that to all kinds of shows and draw a croud.

There are varying opinions on what we define as "looks good". I agree with Rawleigh, if that windshield was only a glass bubble...

That boat pulled by a 57 Chevy would look good.
Color choice, not so much unless you live in the Kendall section of Miami.

Harry you building another boat? Sounds like a cool project and bit smaller than Denada...BH

It looks like the Edsel of the boating world. Just way way ahead of its time.

i think thats a different model.....bigger with more freeboard and proportionally smaller fins. you'd have to see this in real life.AC1977 wrote:Looks good all cleaned up

i think its the "eldorado"...13 foot with straight trim lines along the rub rail. the larger boats swoop down a bit at the transom. the fins are WAY out of proportion to the boat. i mean like seriously huge!

Love these old things , now a days most of new the boats look like the latest Nike air , ( sunseeker , fiarline and the rest of all the english and italian shitpiles ).
