MICHELANGLEO

Michelangleo is a 15’, twin cockpit classic lake boat, built in 1950 & fully restored approx. 10 years ago. Current home is the South Island, Nelson Lakes area.

Powered by a fully rebuilt 272 wide block Ford V8. She is direct drive (so no gearbox or reverse). Sitting top of the V8 is a 350 2 barrel Holley carb + electronic ignition, heat exchanger and a stainless fuel tank.

I love the stern photo, a pretty backside & the noise from those exhausts would be music to my eyes – ok I’m a petrol head 😉

She is for sale on trademe if anyone is looking for a zoom zoomer 🙂

Love it, but behind that misspelling of MICHELANGELO?

Haha music to your eyes? Or a symphony to your ears? Either way, don’t look at me with that tone of voice 😉

Hi, lovely classic lady. Would also love to hear that V8 doing it`s best. A beautiful piece of yesteryear history. Cheers.
