Not a Porshe boat but a Classic runabout. I stumbled across this 15' 1966 Silverline Riviera. I literally took a wrong turn on a side street and there she was. I'm so stoked about the deal I got on this boat. Boat with a nice interior, top and side curtains, perfect running 60HP Evinrude. Trailer and all the original paper work and manuals. $300.00! I feel a little guilty but I didn't set the price.

And the best part of boating is a blonde crewmate.

VERY nice boat!
I spent my day boating today, too.
My son driving through a gust of wind, he loves it when the boat heels and accelerates.

As you can see I am the Captain, he's driving, my wife is tending the jib sheets, and I'm sitting on my ass lighting a cigar. smile.gif

Here's the ghost ship. It's haunted by the lost souls of a mutinied crew that ran out of provisions 100 years ago and the boat just drifted into port this week, empty but for the skeletons.







OK, it probably belongs to some hick from Fresno who's wife got her hair frizzed their first time out and she won't ever return too the boat, or he got scared and in over his head and decided that golf was safer and less scary.

Sweet boat!

Love the retro boat. I have friends who used to have one very similar to that in Vermont. It was great for St. Albans Bay but the waves on Lake Champlain were a bit much to take it any great distance.

Have fun!

I got one from the same era, childhood cottage boat....no where near that shape. If fact it's real sad, it hasn't seen water since I bought this place 13yrs ago. sad.gif

Rick:

A point of interest: Do you know that Evinrude makes 4 cycle engine in the

250 HP range. I know it's not a V8 from a 928 but it sounds interesting doesn't

it. Alien for land ,& 1 for the water!!!!!! Dave slap.gif sawzall-smiley.gif

Really would like to own a large sailboat some day. Something in the 60-70 foot range. Thats gonna be a few more years. Love to sail around the world when I retire.

More time to look at it and dream up the modifications.
Lets see....

Heat...a season extender
Closed top...season extender
Wood accents...wood dash, better gauges...

And of course...
Paint...or at least some black accent stripes (you know Im right)

Very nice find... Having grown up in Minnesota I can tell you guys - most of the time when you take a wrong turn, you could end up in a lake biggrin.gif

Don't paint it. Preserve it.

Rick, that boat is seriously sexy.
Don't listen to Rich. Men with big bushy mustaches are not to be trusted. smile.gif

I had to laugh a bit at this repsonse. If you know anything about Los Osos (Morrow Bay), you know the sailing includes a permanent fog bank about 1/2 mile off shore. The "ghost ship" is actually any ship that sails out of there laugh.gif

Morrow Bay is the only sail harbor I know of where none of the sailors have sun tans lol3.gif

(Back on topic) BTW: Great looking little motor boat. Don't paint it. It has that "classic" look.

Nice Rick!

Now you just need a nice white and blue Falcon 2dr wagon to pull to the lake and back with. shades.gif

Yep it is ugly but it sleeps 10 people in beds and can make it to Mexico and back!
