Nickle City Classics

I have too many projects and so this one has to go.  I have what I believe to be a Tiger Ray going by the brochures, It is definitely a Custom Craft.  This boat needs a total restoration and the transom is just plain mush and has been poorly repaired in the past.  With it (came with the boat) is a Mercury electric start Merc 500 50hp short shaft with a damaged lower unit looks like the last owner hit the bottom and pulled the drive out of the housing.  I have posted pictures in the photo gallery under Nobby - CC Tiger Ray.

Anyone interested?

Cheers

Hi Nobby, Welcome.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any numbers there on the transom?

They may be inside the splash well and upside down.

Thanks

Hello NOBBY: Ex-Poughkeepsie , NY here.  Working on my 61 Tiger ray for next year.  Looks like RED color under the BLUE .??. You posted some good pics , but maybe send me one or two more .?  Close up of Bow light / front deck , & #2 the inside rear seat area .?  Is trailer included in your pkg offer .? THANKS  " LForget@Lococo.org   "

What the the measurements of the glass windshield.?? If came with boat should be mfg in 1962 ,.??  Any paperwork / title / registration stating year .?  THANKS

Sorry been out to sea for a bit just got back.

No I cannot find any obvious visible numbers on the transom.

Boat does not have any papers or title, and the trailer is not part of the package.  The windshield is original and not broken.  Original colour is red top white hull.

I should of also mentioned in my first post that I am giving this away,  otherwise I am going to have to scrap it.

Cheers

Bump one more time before it goes to the dump.

I am willing to remove hardware should I scrap it for a small fee if anyone is interested, I believe items such as the running lights etc to be original.

Cheers

N:  Starting again on our TIGER Ray here with new member .  Can you save the windshield .??  .Looked at the photo album , hard to see the BOW light , but are you also saving the bow light . ?  > Do the dash gauges have Custom Craft logo on them .  or did you use for Merc ./ or they  older OMC dials. ?    LForget@Lococo.org

  Have the rear transom AL "U" shape CAP.??

 THANK YOU  for current status.

It would be a shame to let this get scrapped.

Where are you located? edit: I see you are in Long Island

Chris posted something on your profile a while ago that he may have been interested.

Can you hold onto it for awhile and we'll try one more time to get it to someone that can restore this?
