1971 ... boat?
Since I live on the Gulf Coast ... I have been itching to get a period specific boat to pull behind Marilyn. Any suggestions on boats that could be rehabilitated/rebuilt that Marilyn may have pulled back then?

Re: 1971 ... boat?
My wife walked up behind me as I was watching a video of a v-drive flatbottom with a 454 BB gettin it across a lake.
She said one simple word ... "No" ![]() ![]() I guess it will be more along he lines of an early 70s Mako 19.

Re: 1971 ... boat?
A vintage 1971 center console Whaler would be cool!

Re: 1971 ... boat?
I do like that Glastron!
However, I think a sub 100hp outboard is more the Boss' speed. ![]()

Re: 1971 ... boat?
Whaler for sure. Big or little you can't go wrong. Where and how would you be using it?

While there are many valid choices their is only one true answer. Lol hot rod boats only go as fast as you tell them to go. Mine will cruise all day at 25mph. My 67 and 66 stevens v-drive flatty. Another board members 67 and 74 mark twain. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

You can't go wrong with a Correct Craft boat. I'm on my 5th Correct Craft as the family enjoys the lake. Of coarse the current boat is too big to be pulled "safely" behind the C10. Then again my truck would need to be finished to know the true answer. |

Re: 1971 ... boat?
A little 13' would be great for that. Drove about some in a 13' with a 50hp Merc. on a tiller with power tilt/trim...

Re: 1971 ... boat?
But I think you would be more "period correct" with his 68 Hallett.

Re: 1971 ... boat?
Sorry to say but most of these boats would look wrong behind a pickup, too sleek, they belong behind a Chevelle or an Impala. The Boston Whaler, really? How about a little hip? I think a Century Arabian is your ticket, looks the part, is well made boat, and a balance between a kids boat and granddads bass boat, and it straddles the line between vintage and modern era like the trucks do.
![]() It would even look right in avacado green. |
