Yeah can you take some more pictures of your dad's. Looks a ton like mine also, minus the ss and HM engine. We got triplets! mine is a 70 also.

What should a 1970's navigational light look like? is it a smaller one? or the bigger one's like on the 68's?


Also crabman you mentioned you were in OH, you could look into this 1966 skylark? it has a super sabre v6.

I also have a couple of parts that the skylark is missing, rub rail an a few other things, might be a cheaper option and would leave you with plenty of room to buy parts to it.

Whats the hull number on that green boat? Another flat topped motorbox in a '69 with a H-M, what do you know! Still havent seen a H-M with the curvy glass motorbox, or a pre-70 with the flat top over anything but a H-M.

The bow light, rear scoop location, fiberglass buckets, dash and added front scoop were all '69 changes. Though, Ive seen some late 68's and early 69's with a mix of the new and old parts. The typical '69-72 bow light is that small round one, like this:

Geez, you may want to check with us first on all of your parts swapping decisions!

Those earlier (larger) bow lights used in '67-68 are not hard to find... you can usually find a few on ebay at any given time. If the chrome is nice, then someone may want it though!

The smaller lights are still available new. While they look very similar to the Perko 0972, the original light is actually a Sea Dog. (CC removed the metal piece separating the green and red lenses).

turningpoint84 I will def. do that when I head back to Michigan for a few days. I will attach a few more, sorry old I phone photos but, better then nothing I guess.

Bakchose Thank you for the warm welcome and letting me know about the MPH.

TRBenj I will work on getting you the hull number on that also.

Well long story short the motor had a blown head gasket so we decided to pull the motor. After pulling the motor we then decided to redo the stringers and gel coat all at the same time, which then lead to re-chroming everything. It's been a long journey but it finally coming together after being out of the water for about 5 years.

It is pretty darn close, I do love the horns though and wish we had those. Do you still have the original side panels then ?

Horns are available here if you want them.

All you guy's really need to think about going to the GL Reunion this summer---

Still shorter than my 1070mile trek each way!

Jonathan, that blue boat is going to be a looker! Does it have the glass top motorbox or a wood box? Ive seen both combos over '69 H-M's. Both the blue boat and green one look to be in great shape... Id love to see more pictures! My '70 needs a lot of help to look that good. Hopefully we can start that process this year.

Fill us in on your Dad's Skier. Looks like a '71-73... what color/engine/windshield does it have? The late 60's Stangs and early 70's Skiers are probably my 2 favorite CC's- you guys have good taste!

Gary S Thank you for the heads up it looks like it would be a great time, I will have to look at the schedule and keep you posted. It would be great to get a big group to head over that way.

turningpoint84 Where are you located ? You have me thinking about those side panels :)

TRBenj It will once it gets done, just has been taking way too long. Just really need to take some time and get it finished. Hopefully this April or May in between putting docks in. The blue also has a flat fiberglass top, the green one is still all original and has never been touched that I know of or redone. They both have the fiberglass floors in tact, which I would like to find for the AZ boat but those are a little hard to come by these days it seems. As for the Skier I'll try to find some better pictures but I will warn you it's no looker, but just a great all around boat tool around in.

turningpoint84 My uncle lives in Covington and has a little lake house on Williamstown Lake. They look like the original, don't throw them away even if I don't pick them up I am sure someone will. I will talk to my uncle or Dad and see if there planning a trip anytime soon and keep you posted.

Careful on the floor pan idea, as I dont think they were used prior to '67. Take a look and see what Bruce did on his early Mustang, as that boat is beautiful.

Definitely consider trying to make GL, as the only thing better than the boats are the people who attend these events... Many travel from very long distances, and would be very jealous of your relatively close proximity. Highly recommended!

No, not Bruce from MWCC. Screen name = Riley

I was thinking he posted the picture in this thread... but it was Zach's:

My American Skier being a real basic boat just had grey painted plywood for floors,no sides or cushions. I like my fiberglass pan I now have in mine way better than the carpet I had used before.
Don't forget Brian who dragged his boat all the way from California with a 2 year old? too!

2011 was the last official year with about 40 boats and 180 people,definitely not to be missed
