Well, I know all of you guys have all been biting at the bit for more info. Well, your ship has arrived (so to speak)...Received more pics today. May be the last pics until spring.
Appears the boat was manufactured by a company called Pleasure Industries out of Fort Dodge, Iowa. Had no luck finding any info on that outfit. Not even sure what decade they folded.
Looks like a V-6 stuffed in the rear. Can't identify the drive but I don't have much experience with this vintage of equip. Turns out helm is closer to stern than I imagined which would make driving/docking even more interesting, but how bad can it be?? It's Coast Guard approved!!

I'm not gonna lie I would rock the sh!t out of that thing...we have a river that is filled with pontoons and small runabouts...I would pack a couple cases of beer on that thing with the loudest stereo you have ever seen and drive it till it sank hahahaha but then again I like weird sh!t like this...I have the pontoon version of this thing no lie...look up lakes craft 1978 pontoon hahaha

mine is an I/O 4 cylinder omc but essentially the same...still gets looks from the guy with a brand new one with twin 400r's that cruises the river...and I didn't pay 100k for mine hahaha

I dig it too.

I have the same thoughts on what I would do with it as BBYSTWY.....lol

Im thinking a small diesel like a little kubota and just putt the thing around...

That thing would be such a pain in the ass to drive, can you say blind spot?

Check out the propane tank. I think it's an ice fishing shanty. You drive it out there in October, drop anchor, and don't put it back on the trailer until May.

That seadek flooring is the bomb............we'll call it the tadpole

Cool boat!

^^^^^^^^^^ Let's go in halvesies Rob and rock that thing out on Clinton next summer! Old man has a couple big blocks laying around the garage in Mason City. I'm thinking tractor pipes for maximum "we've arrived and we're ready to party" effect!
