This is a 1958 Cruisers. It has a Lark 35 on it. I think it is actually a 1957. Sticker expired 2018 so it has been in use until recently. Motor, gas tank pad, battery box under seat. Prop shaft has no wobble and turned freely. Some bilge dirt, but not bad. Wood looks good even at base of transom – Owner wants $3,000, in 61109 Rockford IL (and we ask for a 501c3 contribution for facilitating the find/sale)

This is how things went down today in a video nutshell. Seems every yard has their own methods and system and I enjoy seeing it. The guys were thorough and know their craft.
She is tucked away and although the video is a brief recap, this process did take a while and I suspect these guys stayed late to finish. We are the last boat in and tucked away. Ready for the next step. #northshoremarina #captainalbert #grandhaven

So when we hauled the boat across Texas and took everything off the top they disconnected the wires from the bus bar in the spotlight instead of just unplugging it in the helm, we still can't figure out how to get it wired back together and installed. Anyone have a picture? My manual doesn't tell this?? UPDATE:: I added a photo for future reference!!

So we’ve had a freak cold snap come through in Texas .. do they all do this and drip all over the floor?? … It’s probably 45 degrees outside and 70° on the boat…. Missing the old-style wooden portholes right now!!!!
