Seller Notes: 
The boat is probably in better shape now than it was when it was new. More and better varnish, glues and screws etc. Only the best of everything was used in the restoration.The boat has no issues that I am aware of. Solid transom, hull at top decks. Solid Good running Gold Javelin with matching controls and dash plates.
Description: 

1957 Yellow Jacket Fury Deluxe, original Tee Nee trailer with matching 1957

35 horse Gold Javelin. Total restoration on everything. This 16 foot

Fury Deluxe is

extremely rare......have actually never seen another one of these

classic wood boats except in

pictures with Roy Rogers who was part owner of this Denison Texas

company. Has

not been a trailer queen but used frequently at many vintage wood boat

wet meets and motor

meets....it always gets a lot of attention especially with the highly

desirable 1957 Johnson Gold Javelin on the transom. All new top decks,

original

restored cold molded hull. New old stock original dash plate. All of

the original deck hardware. Second place winner at

2013 Keels and Wheels which is also the year of the finished

restoration and final 16 coats of Captains varnish. You will see other

models of the Yellow Jacket, including the Fury but the Fury Deluxe is

extremely rare with the upholstered side panels and rear hatch.

According to the son of Mac McDerby (founder of the company) the Fury

Deluxe was his Dad's favorite boat and helped introduce him to the first

swear word when it quit out on the lake one day.The fun for me was the endless hours in the restoration, now it

is time to reluctantly sell and make room for the next project. Asking price is

well below the cost of just the materials as even the covering boards and floor boards etc are ALL mahogany.More pix of the progression of the restore available. Also note that some of the pix are without the windshield which it now has. The brass prop is also no longer on the boat as pictured in a few of the photos as the stock white prop is now installed.I made some sort of violation to classifieds board policy in my first listing so they deleted it. I am sorry to those who were watching it as I try again to do it properly.

Individual buyer- Dennis Cheatham- Interested in your YJ Boat. My father is 82yrs. old and worked at the YJ plant just north of Denison, TX. He would like one last ride around Lake Texoma in a YJ boat he may have helped build when new. I would like to speak to you if your boat is still available? Looks like a beautiful job on the restoration!
Respectfully,
Dennis Cheatham

My Dad had a 1957 Yellowjacket. I always loved that boat. He just passed away Saturday 4/13/19 and I’d love to have a boat like this one. He was 93, a WWII Vet, when he returned he continued his love for boats.
