Re: [FWDLK] Finned boats

[john bartell <59fins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an aluminum 1957/8 Crestliner Jetstream with "fins and tailights." 
1957-60? 40 HP Mercury Lightning outboard and old coil spring boat trailer 
from the same era.  Needs restoration, $400 firm takes it.  I have not 
touched it in 3 years other than to mow around it.   Fins look like 58 with 
triangular shaped tailights.  If I don't sell it, it will sit there until I 
get to it...or not!
