Great site for great idea's.
My new/old 570. Has some work and need a 4 stroke motor.
Serial nr. 44. That from 1970 i guess !

Hello and welcome.

Your boat is in beautiful condition considering her age. And yes you are right, she is a very early model of the 570's - age about 1970. Just shows that these lovely little boats were made to last.

My husband loves your solid captains seat and I think our own 570 will be modified during the winter to match

Thank you for your warm welcome. This is my first boat but I already love it. The 570 'feels' very solid.
My plan was to replace the seat for a adjustable one, so I can also look across the shield but you made me doubt
The old 2-stroke 20 HP Yamaha engine consumes too much petrol so it will be replaced by a newer 4-stroke one.
I will upload some pictures in the near future when some restauration work is done.

That would be nice !
I live in IJmuiden 10 miles from Amsterdam and close to Haarlem where my boat is.
I took a snap shot from a short movie.
