My Atomic4 turned out to be a universal utility4, probably WWll, in very good condition, turns over and has compression, It is a BN1 model 6 volt with direct drive tranny, pic before rebuild.

Stingray Point Boat Works is selling this 1969 26' Pearson Ariel. This would be a great little project boat for the winter. This boat has been on the hard for at least five years.  No Engine. No sails, in Deltaville Virginia.

Moyer does not go back that far, It is also a 6 volt system, I have found some parts, but no service or owners manuals...

I just purchased a 1962 atomic 4, model bn1, ser. # 67620, looking for info on the engine, parts, I need manuals and a parts list, any help on this would be appreciated.
It has a generator instead of an alternator, I think the date of mfg is nov 1 1962'''

Thanks, I have secured the bottom of the shaft to the after market shoe with a 1/4-20 bolt and washers, it can not jump out of the (shoe) I had a hole drilled in the top of the shaft and tapped to take a 1/4-20 bolt, to mount a strap  there, just seemed to be a better application...

I have thoughts of not reinstalling the Gudgeon strap, the strap had worn a deep 1" wide groove in the old rod, maybe you could help by giving me reasons to reuse it, there are 4 large stainless screws through the shaft into the rudder and six layers of resin around the rod and over rudder. my thoughts are, enough is enough, but I am wrong on occasion.....

A better pic of the rudder installed..

Linda Anne with bottom scrapped, sanded and painted with the new rudder installed and ready for paint..

This is the rudder shoe that is now installed I will keen it for now..

Good morning, She is on the hard at MS Dockside Marina, good to see another Ariel at Carrabelle.

She is the inboard model, but the engine has been removed and a tohatsu 8 was mounted aft, she still has the drive shaft though, I am going to mount a Yamaha 9.9 high thrust for now and look for an atomic 4, gas or diesel.......

Someone somewhere.
New rudder cut out and ready for the shafts and fiberglass.and paint, etc

Need big money for my monet!

Will do,  I am building a new rudder now and am going to fair and paint the rest of the hull in Carrabelle, Then its on to Kings Bay in Crystal River.

Thanks Ebb, I am sure she is pretty much the real thing, the cabin interior is original and looks good, just needs cleaning and some refits,
