Hinckley Roustabout

This is a 1954 Hinckley Roustabout Cedar boat that was built as a Yacht club launch. I accidentallyhad this listed in the wrong category two weeks ago andauction was ended and deleted and now Ijust gotthe time to rewrite it.

This great littleboat was last in the water three years ago and then was stored indoors until this past June. The motor is a 4-107 Perkins.Injection pump was apparently rebuilt about 5 or so years ago.I tried to prime and start it but couldn't get it to run. Boat is in very good shape,prior owner took very good care of it and did many repairs. He had gotten it from the yacht club in the early 80's. It is a cedar boat though so hull needs to be sealed up due to sitting/shrinking. There are also a few spots where board endsneed to be re-attached. But overall nice andsound.

This is a very beautiful boat and may be one of the last ones in existence. Very functional and maneuverable, and seats a lot ofpeople. Lever steering linkageto the rudder makes for quick rudder turns. Engine box looks to be recent and was built and glassedproperly inside and out with gussets in all corners. Console could use new gauge panel and electronics. Has functional bilge pumps. Please contact me if you would like to come and look at boat. I have a wooded cradle for it and could load on flatbed trailer and deliver it for a fee.

Thanks
