Enjoy summer on the water in your 1964 Classic Shepherd!
History
Original "Runabouts" Brochure from 1964:
For "out and out" thrills and excitement this Shepherd 19' with power options to 325hp will give you all you ask of her and more! Her graceful stem line results from a newly designed bow section, while her gleaming mahogany hull trimmed in stainless steel distinguishes her as the thoroughbred she is — a Shepherd.
The outstanding performance of this 19' model makes her ideal for watersports. Her ability to turn within her own wake in either direction under high speed is coupled with the softest ride we have ever produced in a 19-footer.
The interior is completely upholstered, with foam padding on dashboard, engine box and covering boards. Hand-stitched, quilted form-fitting seats add to the luxurious cockpit. Standard equipment this year includes neutral start switch and courtesy light.
A tempered glass custom windshield provides distortion-free visibility. Speed to 45mph are possible. Also available in V-drive installation.
