CROSBY SLED Boat Restoration project by Shipahoy 41

Yep. The one on my boat is similar but it looks like it is a 1983 model. We are adding a dual 110 outlet on the boat for my cd player and additional lighting. Pictures will start again in about two weeks after I get it back from the marina. Does anyone else have a boat with the steering wheel mounted on one side and the throttle controls on the other side like mine? I looked for what type of boat it is but at first glance I can not see a name.

I think I would look into stick steer vs the sideways wheel. Seems it would be easy to loose grip on the wheel in a steep turn. Never seen the likes of that before. Do like the boat otherwise. Congrats on gettin ya a rig.

YES HE DOES!!! In spite of ourselves. I thank Him every day for His Grace and His Mercy. I am going to Bass Pro Shop to find an on board charger they can put on the boat. I will go to the Marina Monday and take a few pictures folks. I have to find the hull ID number and make of the boat so I can start registering it and get a trailer license.
