Re: Is this the Offshore model?

Re: Another Vintage Picture!

Joe, It is a very early fish locator, as a kid I remember it sitting in a box in our garage. My dad threw it away, wish I had it now along with the cool marine toilet that was mounted under the bench seat. You can see the locator from the front in the other "Vintage Picture" post. The blac...

Here she is in her most recent configuration. 3rd motor a "61" Merc 700 and non color correct red canvas top. I think the red top gives her some sizzle. She has been out of the water for a few years and is awaiting a full refinish. Let the fun begin!

A-1.jpg My Great Uncle loved to fish so he had the dealer install the deck lights for night fishing and docking. The killer rear flag Glo-Pole was installed by the dealer when he first purchased her. Very cool look at night when the whole pole glows bright white and then is see through during the d...
