1957 Chrysler - Collector???


Granny

Recommended Posts

I have a 14ft. fiberglass boat with the fins on the back (1957?). I have been tying to find information on what kind of boat this could be. The title card says 1957 Chrysler but I was told that Chrysler didn't start makeing fiberglass until 1966. Does anyone know anything about this boat or know where I can find more info on it.

Thanks in advance,

Granny

I have a late 60's Pipestone with the fins on the back. When I registered it the title said 73 but I know its from the early 60's.
Your title was possibly entered wrong.
Did they make glass boats in the 50's?
post a pic of it possibly someone can hit the year for you.

I had an aluminum boat from the 50's that had fins on the back.. made out of the old airplane aluminum surplus left over from the war.

Thing looked like the *bat boat*.

The *bat boat* ended its carreer when the trialer axle broke and it drug on the pavement.... 308# of aluminum(gutted) at the scrap yard.. drank good beer that night.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
