Bought this vintage piece on ebay earlier this spring, havent had much time for it but finally got started. It came with a 7.5cc k&b outboard but didnt run right, so it got sold for new vintage 3.5cc k&b outboard. The engine had to be fitted with a custom made plate to mount it to the boat as the holes for the 7.5cc were much wider. The engine in pic is the 3.5cc unit fitted to the boat. Painted it with classic laquer then clear coated

Pic sux but here it was fresh from ebay

Cool! Love the old Nitro Outboard boats. I have a Prather Lap Cat II with a 7.5 K&B I'm slowly restoring right now.

Awsome, love to see a few pics!

I don't want to jack your thread with pics of my junk. lol But you have inspired me. Maybe I'll take some pics and start a thread.

That'll get thumbs going......



Carry on.

Alex, that's quite enough tomfoolery outta you! Besides, rumor has it that it's more of a needle than a thread...

Made a cover out of plexiglass for radio compartment Custom fuel tank mount and throttle cable bracket Didnt have a jackplate so made this one that fixes engine in permanent position for now

Put a few pinstripes on it

Looks great, as does the display! I look forward to wrecking and sinking that boat when the weather warms up!

Lol

That boat turned out very nice. Your display looks great!

That's turned out nicely I always fancied a boat .
