Hello from Orwigsburg PA

I like the helpful information, Thanks alot!
I puchases 1987 Sou'Wester Kingfisher Mod V this past winter.
Boat sat for years, but have all systems working, a little rewiring
due to corrosion. A little more work , replace old sea chock for wash down
and replace two decade + bennet trim tab pump. Have twin 225HP 1998
Johnson Ocean runners drink gas like a drunken sailor, but are very relaible! Have a nice pocket sportsfisherman for me & my wife and our four boys. Should have boat in water by August for some inshore tuna fishing.

Those Johnson Ocean Pro's (they were known by several similar names) might drink a bit of fuel, but they are among the most reliable motors in outboard history.

Have fun with her, and post photos when you are able.
We're all about the photos here!

Welcome aboard !

I'd guess some previous owner named her Kingfisher and had a label shop make up the decal using a Parler-like font.

FWIW, if you ever rename her, our own TomS here on CP does the same, but uses an almost perfect Parker font.
