Little winter project

[3 Squids]

Just got some info. The hull is a 1963 15’ Dixie. Originally it had a windshield and front and rear seats. This is the only image I’ve been able to locate.


I talked to my nephew and he really wants to keep the motor that’s on it. It’s a 1980 25hp Evinrude. His dad stopped using it because of a bad fuel pump. That’s been at least 5 years ago so I’d imagine there’s more attention needed now. I have a complete parts motor but haven’t gotten to run the number on it yet to find out what it is. Time will tell where this goes. Going to grab a can of Aqua Strip tomorrow and see how it does. I got a quote of $1100 to soda blast it and that’s just not going to happen. If it takes me a couple hundred buck and a few days of stripping and sanding so be it.
