RARE 1956 ELGIN DeLUXE OPEN RUNABOUT with original McCulloch 60 HP "Flying Scott" outboard. Made with Imported African Okoume wood. Excellent 2010 Custom built Trailer and Custom Travel cover Included.

1. 1. I bought this a while back for my Private use at the area Wooden Boat shows on the Potomac River. The Flying Scott outboard has the 60 HP rated engine. It's really been loved and kept up to Primo condition by myself and my Marine Mechanic.
   2. This Elgin Deluxe Runabout has operated without issues the past few seasons. The watercraft was totally sanded down and any needed weak area's were replaced and recondition to match original placement and stain. It still shines with it's three year old 10 coats of marine varnish. The bottom was sanded and checked for damage. After the bottom was sealed again and painted with a blue color bottom paint. All Soft goods where replaced with a heavy duty marine vinyl covering. At same time added new padding before covering. Looks real Sharp!
   3. I have preformed the following work on the outboard and trailer last year: Check and service the water pump, compression test, cleaned plugs and Prop checked - drained and replaced the gear oil. Balanced the tires and put on Buddy bearings. Added new wheeled front stand for better push/pull control when placing in garage.
   4. This will fit five adults conformably. Max weight limit is unknown as it's not yacht certified but I know I had at least 1000 lbs loaded last year.
   5. Yes, its true, both the Boat and Trailer are currently regististered (documented) for the state of Virginia and will transfer over to your State without problems. This Trailer is one of the best I have ever towed. It's suspension with shocks hardly moved the boat up or down or side to side when you go over big potholes or bumps doing 70 MPH!
   6. This is a hard to find and very hard to come by Sears & Roebucks Catalog order, Elgin Deluxe Open Runabout. Im only selling do to my need to declutter my life. I'm starting too downsize now, so I can buy that ICW trawler in the next few years, Yes Retirement!
   7. Please bid knowing that I'm only placing the reserve/Opening bid at 85 % of what I spent on it years ago. The Value is so much more and with the added maintaince cost preformed last year thrown in, it a bargain buy for a older wooden class boat. I dont sell crap.
