Boat is unique, fun, and in overall good shape. We kept the boat on a lift at the marina and used it regularly for the last couple years. We plan to move and need to thin out the toys. The 1960 Mercury 80 "dock buster" is a super beautiful motor. It's called a dock buster because it doesn't have a neutral. You just turn the key and throttle up. The reverse in the motor needs work. We purchased it with no reverse and just never really messed with it cause it stayed on the lift. Seems to just be a matter of adjusting linkages. It nearly turned over in reverse after about 10mins of tinkering while on it. The boat is wood but the hull is reinforced with fiberglass. The pocket cabin is pretty roomy, with the right set up you could camp on the water in it. Nice little custom tandem trailer. The boat is quite light weight and moves along very quickly with 80hp Merc. There are two spotting lights on top both of which work as well as interior light. This boat is a head turner and lots of fun. The boat ran great when last used. We have been so busy this season with the impending move we havn't had time to get it out this season. The paint is in overall good shape but that's the cool thing about wood, just sand a paint makes it like new again. Trailer tires are in good shape and ready to role.The boat was made by a little company in North Carolina which custommade boats. This is truly a one of a kind. The company went out of business years agobut the boat spent mostof its life in North Carolina until a few years ago when wepurchased it. I have advd diskI believe that has a lot of the specs and building construction, generally more info that comes with it. More pictures available. Thanks
