[mercguy]

trades, etc.....

I would be interested in trading for a VERY GOOD Yamato 80 or 302 or even Mercury 44mod stuff..............


I also have a Yamato 102, built by TJ, that I would trade for a Yamato 80 or 302............no junk motors though!

[mercguy]

motor available.......

I can also help with providing a motor for this boat. I have a KG4H in the middle of a complete restoration, that could be packaged with the boat OR I have TONS of other Mercury 2cyl fishing motors that could work great on the boat, such as a KG4/KG7/MK15/MK20/MK25/KH7..........

[mercguy]

or.....

someone has got to have an old KG4H/KG7H or 20H in their garage that would want to dust it off and go playing out in this boat with? Or, should it just remain where it is for years to come????

1959 Sid Craft

I may have access to what I believe may be Jim Colburn's 1959 Sid Craft AOH. It has been in dry storage for at least 40 years. I have yet to see it but would like to make the guy a reasonable offer if ot looks OK. Does anyone know what would be a rasonable offer. Give me a ballpark figure.

Hi Phil,

With or without motor? Most probably in 1959 the boat that Jim had was 9' plus some inches as I think O'Dea had one also. My memory from that period is weak as I was in the Merchant Marine Academy. I would think that the boat would be worth $700 - $1,000.
