1965 Sea King in the Wards catalog!


I found my boat in a 1965 Montgomery Wards Spring Summer catalog.  Boat, trailer and motor all listed in the section.  The section of the catalog also includes other motors, aluminum boats and accessories.  I scanned these to save them.... the catalog is musty!! But, at least I was able to scan the entire section pg. 798 - 818.

Yeah lights work

After some re-wiring and setting up an independent power feed, lights and bilge pump have new toggle switches and function.
Thanks to the Fiberglassics.com forum for some wiring help

New "old stock" Sea King speedometer

eBay find.... $12.65 plus shipping. Not bad slightly different, 10-55mph vs. 5-45mph, but looks perfect!
