Hello everyone,

My name is Al, and I live in Osoyoos BC, Canada just a 10 minute drive to Oroville WA 98844.

Yesterday I took the GF n her 4yo son for an hour and half drive in near 40 C degree weather to view a Muskateer. Ad said $500 bucks. We decided to purchase it so we put a deposit and will return next weekend with a trailer to pick it up.

When we got there we looked it over real good. It is a fiberglass tub model which is great as I have over 10 years exp in fiberglass work from mold building to custom boat repairs, kyak manufacturing, greenhouses, canopies, 35-40' fishing boats so ya I can repair or manufacture any tub/cover I need.

The seller lifted the unit up so I could view the underside and it's in great shape no cracks or bruises showing.

The axles seem tight, no up down slop little to no in out slop. Chains and sprockets (wonder if Spacely made em) show little wear. The unit's trans seems to function ok (hard to test real well with 4 fubar tires).

Engine is a 12 HP model of unkown brand looks like techumse. It started with a mild choke, and ran real fine. (needs muffler)

Now the downside is the tires, they are OEM's that have 30 years of weather checking and cracks in the sidewall. They are the rim/tire 1 piece variety.

I'll cheap it n try to use some good semi tire boots to patch the sidewall. Hopefully they will work so I can get a bit of fun out of the unit ASAP.

If not well it's time to find adapters from the 3 hole mount to a 4 hole or 5 hole so I can change up to better tires.

Take a look at the pic this is the unit thats the GF's son in there.

I'll be sanding the blue/grey camo off and painting it with a more appropriate desert camo that suites this area.

Anyone with stock tires cheap PM me as I would consider those for a season

Looks very nice. I think Amphiman1 (member on this site) has one that's a runner too. He might be able to give you some info on this unit.

Welcome to the amphibious forum Good luck with the purchase of the Muskateer This is the first one that I,ve ever seen and I was VERY impressed how well it looked for an amphib this old . It does not seem like its had much abuse . With all your experience in fiberglass repair I,m sure you can turn this Muskateer into a fine looking machine !
