Great looking boat. Looks like you had your own reunion? Nice group of boats there.

Same as the NH boat. Those are the only 2 I've ever seen in that color. It's a great color! |

Those were just a few from the lake, we have a bit of an obsession. That's the only one I've seen in Jade Green other than mine.

That one was a Skylark that was nice until the building it was in collapsed from snow a few years ago.

Is that also a colored deck? Really hard to tell from the picture.

Peter, the last time I saw it, it was upside and had been dragged into the woods. I believe the engine was still in it. The owner told me I could take it for free when I picked the pink Mustang up. I would have needed a flat bed to take it and help from the care taker with his back hoe. It may still be available.

They moved it to another spot where they put junk. You bear right at the fork, (I think the main entrance) and before some fields there's a dirt road on the right that goes into the woods. It was down there 50 yards with some old sail boats and other junk.

Peter if you end up venturing out that way, please take a few pictures :) Would love to own it as well, but a little bit of a drive for me.

This what it looked like the last time I saw it.
Peter, you had pointed me to the Skylark and that tan Mustang. You had told me the boat was owned by Eddie who was the care taker. I went over there and found the boat as it was in the first picture. I then found Eddie and he wanted $600 for it. I told him that all the hardware was stripped off of it and that was too much money. He told me that none of the hardware was stripped off of it and he wouldn't take less. That ended the discussion. I later worked out a deal with the owner of the camp for the tan Mustang and he offered the Skylark to me for free if I would just take it. I told him that Eddie offered to sell it to me which surprised him as he said it was the camp's boat and not Eddie's to sell. Eddie should have come down to about $200 and he would have made the sale. |

I'll take a ride over there the next time I'm working out that way and see if it's still there.

Bruce would happen to be over in my neck of the woods? I'm closing the camp up this weekend and I can take a drive. Y in the road and main entrance sounds like a little trespassing, but with my reserve plate and yellow lab I'm viewed as a lost MassH@#$le.

John, it's in Ossipee, NH, off of Route 153 a little north of Route 25.

Let us know if it's still there. I would be interested in it, if you or Peter didn't want it.

So CC hunting and a NH state liquor store run. Sounds like my Saturday is getting booked up. Bruce pm or e-mail me some detailed directions. Barring anything popping up I should be able to run over there. I love that section of Rt 153 between N. Conway and Wakefield.

I'm not interested. More curious. Bruce and Peter, have either of you two seen this boat over there? these pics were taken in 1988-1990. My brother and I went up there just looking around and found this Mustang and a bunch of other CCs in a row. There were a couple of these storage buildings and they were up on a hill on the left when you drove down to a marina on Ossipee. Would be nice to find that marina again. |

I'm not familiar with that area at all, so I've never seen it. That red Mustang would be worth grabbing for the steering wheel.

It would be really cool to have that Born Again version of the Mustang.

Peter, directions would be great. I did go looking 10 or so years ago. I found a place that I thought might be the place. But those sheds were gone. Was really cool seeing that line of Mustangs and barracudas. I didn't even know there was a barracuda model. It was pre internet. The good old Want Ads days.

Well I didn't find it. Found the sail boat, pile of old tires, and metal shipping containers, etc. looks like a logging co. Went through a year ago maybe. Peter that's the marina. Didn't see anything older than 15 yrs old.

I had a blast. The amount of no treaspassing signs was amazing. Felt like I was driving into some crazy military compound. Sad that the marina went with the times. With that said, I drove down a bunch of camp roads. Talked to a couple of people. Walked Maggie at the town Forrest until we came across bear traxs. Maggie tucked her tail, and she pulled and we husseled back to the CRV. Got back to Mousam, started packing up, and hung out with a neighbor. A great weekend!!!
