Grumman

Classic Grumman G-19

Sportster Aluminum Boat, original Mercury 65 HP 4 cyl outboard motor, and

Trailex Aluminum Trailer--Dad purchased all new in 1962. This boat, motor and trailer is in

cream-puff, excellent condition, only been in the water 3 times since purchased

new. Stored inside. Built from Grumman's famed 6061-T6 aluminum

alloy. When heat treated after forming

to the full T-6 temper, 6061 offers, by far, the greatest combination of

strength and corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloys. Precision construction, flush-riveted

displacement hull, heavy battens (keelsons) on inner side of hull, sandwiching

the hull halves to a solid keel. Grumman

aluminum watercraft is highly respected for its resistance to denting or piercing,

this craft no exception. Lightweight, at

only 730 lbs., this exact boat won the 300 mi Long Island ocean

"marathon" race in 1962. This

boat is a rare, classic combination of comfort, durability and roominess. A brilliant performer in any kind of water,

this was the proud Flagship of the Grumman 1962 fleet, combining the utmost in

pleasure boating, with stability and security.

Bow steering, 22" windshield, siphon bailers, reversible walk-thru

bow seats, running lights, chocks, cleats and lifting rings, tow shackle,

folding stern seats, motor control bracket, self draining motor well, gear and

tank locker, sleeping deck for two, salt water treatment. Length is 18' 6" OAL, 19'7"

gunwale, max beam 86 1/2", depth is 45" at bow, 37 1/2" mid and

30 1/2" at stern. Lightweight

translates to less horsepower to bring this beautiful classic up to speed. Complete with 65 HP 4 cylinder electric-start

Mercury outboard motor, and Trailex all aluminum TX-1700 trailer (2050 lb

capacity trailer + load). Priced to sell, my family hopes this is a real treat

for a connoisseur who appreciates Grumman's beautiful classics from the 1960s.
