This Wednesday we are launching our boat project. Check out photos at
http://emcbc.com/ look under boat project file.

This boat is to be auctioned on E-bay starting in the next day or so. She is one
of the nicest restorations that I have been involved with. She is a 1957
Cruisers Inc. Mariner 100 with a correct period Big Twin 35 Evinrude engine, all which have been restored to show condition. We replaces keelsons and keel with new white oak, she is painted original lemonade yellow and sits on a blue
Tee-Nee trailer with teardrop fenders. She has new mahogany decks and is
completely refinished inside and out.

This restoration was directed by Master Lapstrake restorers; Andy Butchard and txcaptdan~Dan Stober. If you would like to own a beautifully restored original Cruisers Inc. then watch for her on E-Bay.

What a great collection of craftsmen to get together for a project!

I will post some new images this week of her on trailer and in the water!

Can you believe that this is the same boat!

Well, What do you think?

This beautiful little boat will be on E-bay in the next few days watch for her.

Will have some launch pics soon, the weather here has been stormy!!

This should be great inspiration for that project sitting in your back yard!!!

The first sea trial was a complete success!

This beautiful boat could be yours, it will win any show you take her to!

Thanks for your interest, hope you have enjoyed this restoration.

Dan, You guys did a super nice job on that boat! Enjoyed watching. What a nice project.

I'm watching the auction. Lokks like it will go for a good amount.

I bought another boat. 1964 302 Commander. Looks like it's intact. I pick it up Saturday. Can't wait.

Wow! Our little boat brought a high bid of $5,101.00 on E-Bay.
What a fun project this has been, thanks for all your interest.
The next project sits out in my yard awaiting its turn!
Keep after your own project they can come out as nice as this one has.
