    Default Can U Name these Boats? Motors?

    Hi All,

    How about a friendly contest? Can you name these boats - model, year? How about the motors - model, year?

    The photos were taken last weekend at the Tavares (aka Mt Dora) Antique and Classic Boat Show.

    Have Fun,


    Paul

    A Feathercraft and a Larson "Falls Flyer". Also a couple Lymans in the bunch. A T2 powerhead on a shortened inline mid with a speedie.

    Too easy Paul, except for the one shot of the modified Merc with the Quincy tank, all the rest are called "Fishing Boats" and "Fishing Motors".

    The lap straked boats are Lymans I cant tell weather or not they were lower unit boats or they were inboard tunnel drives because I cant see any drives. For those that dont know, Lyman mad this funky round tunnel where the inboard propshaft came out of. I was always fascinated as to how the prop would grab water when I was younger when it was encased in a tunnel.

    The motor on the back of the red/white boat with fins is a 50th aniversary edition Evinrude 35HP.

    Is the P-14 boat with the Merc a mid 60's Arrow Glass?

    The Taupe colored boat on the early Gator trailer looks like one of the few Dunphy's made as an outboard, and the engine on the back is a 1960 75HP Johosn, 89 cu in V-4.

    You're right!

    Both of them were pretty popular around Lake Geneva, many that I saw as a kid still ran well into the late 70's and early eighties. Now the only woodies you see around there are remakes.

    Any idea as to what the buzz was with the tunnel drive?

    The tunnel drive was to keep the simplicity of the inboard over the I O, but to keep the prop and shaft safer and using less draft.
