Needed badly- HICKS engine to complete project.
The volunteers at the Pillar Point Educational Fund have recently rebuilt the 1928 , 34ft Monterey fishing boat IRENE. We hope to use it as a harbor tour boat with the net proceeds going to a scholarship fund for the fishermen's families. IRENE is now back in the water at its home for the last 80 yrs, the Pillar Point (Half Moon Bay)harbor. PLEASE HELP. |

Sure would like to see photos of the boat. Sorry, can't help you with the engine. Maybe some of the other engine collectors can help. |

Was recently in SF during a stop over at the airport and walked along the waterfront near the Maritime Museum - no time to go in ironically! Anyway, I happened to ask a likely looking fellow if any of the boats tied up along the boardwalk on Jefferson St. had a Hicks Engine. He said that one of the tour operators there had a Hicks in his boat but had recently "deep-sixed it". I can't recall the name now, but have it on video. |

I was a hard change. I have relied on Hicks for the last 27 years. Probably the last to still earn a living. I got old. Hicks needed work. Still liked touring. so new yanmar diesel. Did not deep six anything. It is available with many many spare parts. www.dixiecharters.blogspot.com |
