1963 Biesemeyer 4 Point Hydro
 

Not an offshore boat by a long shot but thought some may be interested.
A little project we picked up for Resurrection Marine.com out of a little town in Pennsylvania. Been sitting in the weeds for decades. Pretty much everything has to be rebuilt or replaced. Should be done in a couple months. Already made some progress just waiting on spring to get the build going. Until then all the preliminary work will be done.
An easy way of keeping everyone updated for us is just to make a video. And even though they all kind of look the same as each one is posted progress will have been made.
So give it a watch and tell us what you think.

i think it is a cool project,but i always liked the small boats.

Fuc&%#$ Sweet!!! :eek:

The engine was from an old genset, yes? That's pretty cool.

Ya, it was a backup generator for a A.M. Radio station. A 1994, 7.4 motor, with a little over 300 hours on it, all ran on natural gas, and governed at 1800 rpm's. Basically if you do the math it's about 20,000 miles on a 18-year-old motor.
Complete ground-up rebuild with a few added upgrades, plus a B/W 1 to 1 transmission and then made it all work in the boat.

Thanks folks.

f_inawesome ! :drink:

Sweet!
SRV :D

speechless

Thank you for posting this, and you're in the right place. I started my sleekcraft build at SNF, but those guys are basically only into outboards and knew/contributed nothing to working on a i/o. This is the right forum for this stuff, and I LOVE THAT BOAT. Would be awesome to get it near Madison, WI sometime for a photoshoot with the sleek.

In the late 50's my boss had a Biesemeyer but as I remember it was an outboard. Neat little boat. I think he said it was built by 2 brothers in Arizona.(not positive about that---getting old and memory fading)LOL
