So I was a little worried that this boat was not a real Campbell (in which case it would immediately have become firewood!!!), in part because it really does not look like a traditional Campbell, but I finally got some good news today after some serious investigation work!!

Here is Kandi Kid II (a 1955 Campbell), which was originally owned by Jim Dewars (of Dewars Candy) in Bakersfield. Jim sold her and she was, later, restored by Miller Boats and then the Dewar family bought her back!!! I hope to get in touch with them soon and maybe see the boat in person ???

Well it is time to move this along to someone who is interested in finishing her. Pete Giroux redid the transom and thats where the work stopped. I was saving it for a retirement project but have recently found another boat that I need (No room for this one too).
I have 2 trailers to choose from, the original single axle or the 1960's twin axle, I also have an early 390 Caddy motor and lots of spares to go with.
Make me an offer on all of it, might be able to assist with delivery??
