Re: For Sale 1988 15 SS w/ 1988 60 Johnson & Cox trailer

This Classic is still for sale. Beautiful boat with many accessories. Will consider all reasonable offers. I believe the first serious buyer that looks at this boat will buy it. It will be re posted on craigslist soon. Questions? Call Tom 276 732 6371.

Re: For Sale 1988 15 SS w/ 1988 60 Johnson & Cox trailer

I guess the Fall is not the best time to sell a boat, not even a Classic 15. No inquiries from this post so the boat is now stored for the winter. It will again be for sale in the Spring and I will be considering all offers. Tom

Re: Barrel Nuts

A couple of years ago I found this item at West Marine. They may still carry them.

Re: Finally found my Whaler

Congratulations, Join the 15ft. owners club. I found my 1988 SS in much rougher shape in 2013. Paid $2250 but it included trailer and 60 HP motor. All 1988. Now several $$$ later I have a great boat, motor & trailer all 1988. You will enjoy making the boat your own. Let us know what motor you ch...

Re: Windshield for Sport or Super Sport

My boat is 15ft. However for this application I don't think it makes a difference. Jim, I made a double post will you please delete the second. Thanks

Windshield for Sport or Super Sport

Have any of you equipped your Sport or Super Sport with a windshield? My balance is bad and I need to grab something like a windshield frame when getting on or off my 1988 Super Sport. If any of you have this problem, I would like to know how you solved it--short of trading for a center console.

Re: Raising the Stock Seats on Classic Sport 15

I redid the interior of a new to me 1988 15 SS a couple of years ago and raised all seating as well as the console by 3". It is acceptable but I can not imagine it being lower. I am old with long legs.

Re: Magic Brush and Engine Cowling Decals

I ended up getting decals on ebay. They normally come in a set (2 side and a front & back). I only needed the two sides and they broke a set and gave a discounted price. The decals have arrived and they appear to be quality . Thanks for all replies. Tom

Re: Winter Projets

The 1988 Johnson 60 HP motor that came with my project 15 SS ran really great last year but looks very ragged. Started just before Christmas on a "paint the motor project". First was degrease and clean. Then wire brush, scrape, and sand as much of the old paint as possible. Clean again, th...

Re: Lowrance Elite 4: Glare on Screen

Thanks to all for suggestions,etc. I have taken the brim off an old visor and attached it with velcro. It works great in the garage but the test will be when wind and sun are added. May have to wait awhile as we are having a wet spell here in SW VA.

Lowrance Elite 4: Glare on Screen

I have mounted a Lowrance Elite 4 DSI on the console of my 1988 SUPER SPORT 15. If the sun is bright I cannot see the readout unless I shade the screen with something, usually my cap. This takes my hands off the wheel. Have others found a solution for this problem? I contacted Navico and they do not...
