Hey guys,
Picked up a Deltacraft V15 for a carton..

Just wondering if I should have kept the carton?? Lol

Has a 75hp Chrysler on it. Yet to start it but all seems in place

Just wondering what these fetch in avg to good condition after a bit of a cleanup??

Alternatively, contemplating throwing a center console in there and using it locally..

Just missing the windscreen section.

Hello Mustang5,

congrats on the purchase.
I think that boat looks like a 15' Yalta, very flat aft with steep forefoot.
In the era builders seemed to copy each other.
Don't give up the C motor, my dad had a 105 that ran beautifully.
Please keep us informed of progress.

What does it look like beside your bigger boat with the bigger outboard?

What does it look like beside your bigger boat with the bigger outboard? May I ask why you picked up another boat....for a carton? Do you have deep pockets? Lol!

Its about half the size in length, height and width lol

Was driving home (1.5hr trip each way to work) and got a call from a mate saying there was a boat for a giveaway on the way home in a facebook advert he saw.. Stopped in had a look, said id take it but wouldnt give him nothing, so popped out and grabbed him a carton. Hooked it up and home she is.

The old Chryslers were either very good or terrible but definitely thirsty. I thought it was a Yalta too. My brother had the Yalta. It was OK, not brilliant. In today's terms 60 - 70 HP second hand 2 stroke would be good. Stay away from heavy engines as they drag their bum a bit. I suppose it is a runabout so that may compensate a bit but watch the transom weight.

You might blow the boat off the trailer with that amount of PSI? Haha!!

Purchased a cheap ebay pressure washer that goes to 4000psi for $350 delivered. My god it is an insane bit of gear.

Rips paint straight off to the base material with the direct nozzle.

Also pierces concrete.
