Feather Craft

1956 Feather Craft Vagabond II with title, completely rigged with

classic Kainer steering wheel. New and varnished marine plywood

floorboards, new transom with al plate inside (motor is jacked up for

performance) and Baltic fir plate outside. New center transom brace. New

steering hardware and cable. The boat was flipped upside down and the

bottom was straightened before rigging (the hook was removed from the

short 'afterplane'), there are no hooks or rockers. The boat comes with

the automatic bailer shown, but not with the Braille racing battery and

tank.1950s era Little Dude trailer (good tires, new trailer tongue, new

trailer jack, new lights and wiring, new spare tire, new bearing

buddies). This trailer was custom made for the Vagabond II, the flat

bottom rests in the at the transom on cradles that are transverse to the

trailer. Trailer has been used on an 8 hr. round trip to an AOMCI meet

as well as numerous round trips to and from Lake Houston to test and run

the boat locally.Reliable, beautiful and fast fresh-water (from Michigan) 1960 Scott 40.

New fuel lines, carbs were cleaned and the linkage for the 2 big single

barrel Carter N carbs was synchronized. New ignition wiring inside and

outside the flywheel, Johnson Stinger fuel pump, new condensers, and new

OMC key switch. Rebuilt gearcase: new impeller, new driveshaft bearing,

two new ball bearings, pinion and forward gear were replaced, new

seals. The Scott starts easily, idles well and pushes the rig a 32.5 mph

2-way GPS average with the bronze ski prop (not shown). The classic

motor uses surprisingly little fuel even at full throttle, and

especially at 2/3 throttle. It's a real pleasure to run or ride in this

rig, the Vagabond loves wake boarder wakes and other rough water! We ran

the rig about 3-4 hrs. at the fall 2015 Texas AOMCI meet. 3-blade 10x12

bronze AMC ski prop with new hub (this is the prop that we ran). Scott

control box, cables, and wiring harness. Evinrude oil is run with pump

93 octane gas at 50:1. We've put about 5 hrs. on the motor, compression

is 120 psi in both cylinders. No idea how many hrs. were on the motor

before we bought and restored it.
