looks like a sweet boat
It almost has the lines of a Glastron Carlson.
If you could load your pics up in the Endless Boating gallery I would appreciate it very much.
I'm trying to slowly build EB into a boating resource for people to use.
And one of the things I've been doing, is slowly collecting and adding vintage boating related materials like outboard and boating brochures as well as vintage boating pics as I can come across them.
If you're willing to do that, let me know and I'll create a specific category for Switzers.

I will finish it over there and keep it rolling.
Chris, I am sorry about posting this here. I keep forgetting about the EB site. This would be perfect there. Is there any way we can toss these posts there if I open a thread?

I posted the wrong link
I am not very pc savvy when it comes to posting pics.
Here is the right link

Sorry for the stupidity.
JW, this was on craigslist for free-just pick it up. It is brown metallic underneath the red. I will get some history on it after I pick it up. He also has a mold or he called it "a shell" I will be looking at also. He has a collection of Switzers to include one of the first Switzers which was splashed off a sailboat mold.

And, why the heck is the picture big on the posting? I thought I posted the link no pic....I guess i will never understand this PC crap

I will post in both
I went to the site today and didn't really see a forum for restoration to post in.
I will be posting resto updates on that site as well as others that I do if there is a place for it there. With dial up, it is hard to surf. If I take one of our PC's up to the shop, then Kristi won't see me much at home....LOL
I am anxious to see what the mold is of. Would love to have it be the smaller version of the CL21 which is the SK175.
Now that i can do pics, I will post some of the MX15

Holy Cow
That thing is a flippin jet!!
He told me it was an outboard. I messaged him and told him it looked like an I/O then I saw the pics. he told me it was a jet with an olds in it. Kool swim platform. Kristi likes the idea of a jet since there is no trim involved....just throttle n go.
Time to rethink the resto plan. I have an olds aurora 4.0L indy motor that would fit nicely in this thing. Imagine revvin 10 grand across the lake in it? Maybe convert it to Vdrive since the jet would soak up a ton of the usable HP.

Did you try reading the picture posting instructions?
If you have your pics on photobucket, you can just hotlink to them and post them here or elsewhere.
If you want to upload them to the EB gallery, then you'll have to download them to your desktop and then re-upload them into the gallery.
