Retro Runabout Guide

1977 Chrysler Conqueror S-III Super Bee

Picture
Many folks are surprised to learn that Chrysler was in the marine business for over 60 years. The division of the car manufacturer opened up shop in 1927 building inboards, jets, boats, and outboards up until 1993. The final Chrysler outboards were sold under the brand name Force which was subsequently acquired by Mercury Marine and eventually again by Brunswick soon after. 

This boat is a 20 foot runabout with a 360 cubic inch inboard paired with a jet, all built in-house by Chrysler. The unique styling features a sparkle blue interior and flared 'haunches' around the rear deck and engine compartment. While we do not have definitive dates of production, it appears that this model was produced up until 1979.
