I saw one recently Bruce for less $$. Needed lots of work though. That looks like a nice one:drool:

Nice Bruce. I am sure you have seen the nice one in Barnstable. He hardly ever uses it. P.

pss; is that a tiller in the aft transom I see?

ProfessorM 08-28-2006 05:45 PM

Must be there are controls aft. I wonder if it has the front tiller too?

capesams 08-28-2006 06:13 PM

tiller an controlls in the back are for trolling/jiggin,,backing into a rip...naba has one same color...gas tank was an old calv. water tank under the stern rail..... used a stick to see how much gas was in the tank.

Slipknot 08-28-2006 06:35 PM

I have not seen the one in Barnstable Paul.

CS, my buddy once had a 1957 33 ft pacemaker and we used a stick to check the gas also.

wish I could buy it as there are not many of those still around anymore.
yep nib, I better go make some more boxes :lasso: and start saving

You don't want that boat Slip, at least to fish it. MacKenzies weren't that durable to start, tended to be very wet, and a 40 year old wooden boat with a gas engine means lots and lots of headaches as well as structural and explosive dangers. If you are going the bass boat route, the best (at least under 30') is a 29 Dyer, though a 26 Fortier (which is faster and more fuel efficent but poor in a following sea) is a decent alternative. If you are an antique buff and want to work on a boat more than use it, then an old Eldridge/MacInnis is probably a better choice than a MacKenzie. That said, I still remember a guy next to me in the harbor I grew up on, who had a 20 foot open Mackenzie inboard bass boat (and a lot of oilskins) that I still dream about.
