Hey guys and gals.
This is my Dad's boat, and has not seen water for at least 15 years. He does not have the time or interest in restoring her. It definitely needs a lot of work, and I know very little about mahogany boats - but there are some bad spots in the wood for sure as the pictures will show. I have no idea if these can even be repaired - maybe some of the experts on the site can help me out here! From what I know, the boat is from 1958 - that is the date stamped on some of the cleats. Also from memory, I think the 25hp Johnson is a 1954 or 1955 - the serial number can be seen in a few of the pics so maybe someone can help me figure that out. This boat was an absolute blast when she was running - and pretty fast too. Again, I have no idea what state the motor is in - but I do know the last year we had the boat in the water she was running. For sure needs a tuneup. There are a couple of the original metal fuel tanks available as well, and the red vinyl bench seats from the boat are stored in my parents basement - in good shape. I can not make any claims to the road worthiness of the trailer either, it has sat in the same spot for years as well.
So, all that being said - the boat is available, free to anyone who wants to take on the project. You just have to pick it up (Toronto, Beaches area) - most likely with your own trailer and a few guys to help lift the boat onto it. The motor, which includes the metal stand, fuel tanks as well as all the controls in the boat is available for $100. It is an electric start by the way. If the boat is a write-off, I will remove all the motor rigging from the boat to include in the sale.
