No title for trailer! Might consider trades, Just offer!Thanks!įor Sale is my 1958 Cadillac Marine 14 ft. I can however possibly deliver for a fee. I have the title from the guy I bought it from. I don't want this to sit the winter and would like to see it go to someone that can use it. Motor is good and I paid $400 for that a few weeks ago. Engine is not wired and steering components are not hooked up to the boat. Also comes with the throttle and wires for motor but they should all be re done. The Ski's do not come with the purchase, however the gas tank and fuel line does. Contact me anytime 84 Thanks, Chris Update: I added some more pics. Trailer is in nice shape as well with a brand new wheel and tire. Have clean and clear title from the original owner.
Its the old cable and pulley style steering so will need to be fixed or updated. The boat itself is in nice shape with no major cracks anywhere. These are the only ones that I had available. If interested call or text me and I can send better pictures. Most of the wires are frayed but last time i checked it had spark and had near perfect compression 140lbs +. I paid $400 for the motor alone! all it needs is the wiring to be gone over. Might need to adjust the height of the motor since i believe the old one was a short shaft.
Has a newer 1981 ish mercury 40 hp long shaft motor on the back. It does not store any personal data.Hello All, I have a 1961 Johnson Runabout boat in fairly descent shape.
