Waterbird Clipper Sportsman

This is a 1959 (I think) Waterbird Clipper Sportsman wooden boat built in Sarasota Florida. This has been kept inside its entire life. Untill yesterday it had not been moved for over 40 years. This boat would be an easy fixup/cleanup winter project. All the wood looks to be in really good condition. There is a separation on the deck surface next to the rear light (pictured). The deck appears to be a mahogany veneer that is in remarkable condition for the age. The exterior painthas peeling. The white on the upper sides appears to be original with original striping and lettering. The black area was originally a robins egg blue. The seat cushions are very nice with no rips or tears. The lower cushion and the cabin cushions need a good cleaning.There is a top and frame, along with a replacement top canvas that is pretty old.All deck hardware and cockpit hardware is in place. The engine is a 1959 Mercury model 75A its condition is unknown. I pulled the recoil and it is not engaging. Was told it was running when stored.Controller is also Mercury and has the key.Trailer is a Gator brand. Tires are very old and would need replacing before towing very far. These will be sold on bill of sale only. There are no titles for either.

Again, in the scope of projects this is a boat that will give you a very classic looking boat with very little effort.

Boat is located in Muncie Indiana area and can be viewed with an appointment.

Be prepared to load entire rig on trailer for transport. Can assist in loading on a shipper if necessary.

This is a 50 year old antique project. That said it is sold as is. Place your bid based on description/photos provided along with posted answers to questions asked by you or others.
