I have a Model 70 that is post 64 and would like to convert it to a CRF.

I'll take it. PM Sent

How Creative.

Congrats they are a beautiful subspecies.

Way too many ponies for a boat that size on our lakes. I'm past the age for the need for speed. Back in my teens my buddy had a 13' Carlson Contender with a 3/4 tunnel hull and a 125 Evinrude that had bigger reeds in it and was good for 135 HP. We would go out after work in the Great South Bay of Long Island and in the evening the water was like glass. We didn't have a speedo and GPS wasn't around in 1969 but I can tell you that boat from a dead stop would do a propstand and was probably good for 60mph or better. The posted speed limit just past the canal was 30MPH and after partaking in the herb of the day he opened her up to about 3/4 throttle. Out of a cut in the marsh be comes Johhny Law in a Boston Whaler with a 135 Merc on it that had Power Trim/Tilt, which was fairly new back then. Well with his blue lights flashing and siren going he came up on us fairly soon. I looked at my buddy and said what does he think he is going to do? He let him get to withing about 50 feet and mashed the throttle throwing a huge rooster tail on him and we put about 150' between us. We then slowed down and when he got closer we did it again. Laughing our nutz off. Over the next few minutes we did this three of four more times and he eventually backed off and we went on our way. Nowadays we would probably have gotten shot. The plate on the transom had a horsepower rating of "Unlimited". He bought it used and it had a gold metal flake paint job on it. On the front of the deck was a painting of a Fly with sunglasses on a pair of bongos between his legs. The boat was called The Beatnick Fly. It was very very fast and light. On weekends when the "Rich Folk" would venture out in their 40' Chris Crafts and Hatteras we would buzz them and sometimes spray them. We were just a couple of longhairs and one thing we would do is come up in their prop wash at 40MPH and about 50 feet from their transom veer off to the right and hit the throttle as we crested their 3 to 4 foot wave. The Beatnick Fly would litterally "become airborne for 50 feet floating side to side. Good old American Fun. 55 years later he and I are still friends since one of my brothers married his sister. He is quite the character. Everyones perception of an Italian American from New York. Loud and obnoxios who would give you the shirt off his back. Master carpenter who has done custom work in mansions on the north shore, despite never learning to read or write.

Was it carpeted? I'm used to fishing out of a Blue Wave Center Console that has no carpet and was pretty easy to wash down. I can't get my head around having carpet in a boat.

I can pick them up for you and bring them back to Mesa on my next trip to Kingman either later this week or next week.

You could probably use the top off a folding plastic table and cut out a place to sit. Then get some 3/4" EMT to make four 24" legs and attach them to the table. Then put a set screw coupling on the other end. Then cut some 1/2" EMT pieces to 18" and slide it into the 3/4" coupling and tighten down the screw. This way you could make each leg adjustable for uneven terrain. You could probably make two for under $70. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/pdg-6-ft-folding-table-1254510?cm_mmc=feed-_-GoogleShopping-_-Product-_-1254510&gclid=CjwKCAjwwYP2BRBGEiwAkoBpAvJdxnM10b3qLuuUbjnOyRoYTJZHKtpcgqwgM94nH0jyjSEVVp6WiBoCFGsQAvD_BwE

Sorry to hear that. Condolences to you and his family.

Thanks. Definitely going to get a 4 stroke.

Is that the going price?

WHat insurance company do you have?

That stinks.

These guys worked on my moms car and my sons car and they were fair and honest. http://www.northmesaauto.com/

WTF? OVER!

I have one and it shoots right at 1".

Meet up in Eloy.

I would love to have them. I'll message you my address.

Thunberg looks like a cross between ET and the Grinch.

I believe they were all 26" except the Featherweights which were 24" and later in the late 60's most went to 24".

No rules just don't dump it where hikers or the general public will see it. Adobe Mountain Wildlife in North Phoenix used to take them if they were fresh and use the meat to feed animals like birds of prey.

Entertaining any generation. Prefer 45LC or maybe 44-40 5-6" barrel.

I shoot HSM with 168 Bergers in my 7Mag Remington 700 that is almost 30 years old and get well under MOA. I can hit a golf ball at 400 yards. Furthest I have shot it.

They stay deep until the water warms up.
