Fibercell Cordova Project Boat Introduction & Un-seizing the Engine

I picked up this fun little boat for a deal. It's unlike any other boat I've owned, so I'm going to try and get it on the water this Summer.
If you'd like to see a full rundown of the boat including some of the treasures we found inside, watch it here: • Finding Little Treasur...
The previous owner bought it from some friends who had left it uncovered in the backyard since 2006. It obviously did some damage to the interior. Having sat for over 10 years has also seized the engine.
I used some diesel fuel to penetrate and lubricate the engine which allowed me to crank the engine over and free it up.

    I've only found 3 for sale on line. I can honestly say I don't remember these growing up. Cool boats. Some are jet driven. One of the ones for sale is a 77 and they are asking $2800 for it. I'm currently restoring a 1987 Chaparral Villian ll and hope to have it in the water this summer.

    Nice! Good price too. Dont think I have ever seen this type of boat. Hope you get in in the water this summer.

    I have the engine running and I'm working on getting the outdrive working. I hope it's ready soon. These boats are pretty rare I guess, they were built by a local shop in the 70s.
