Thompson

1957 Thompson 17ft Wooden Boat. Alloy Fleet Master trailer, Johnson 35hp outboard, includes fire extinguisher, cushions, oar and canvas top. We are a classic car dealer located in the center of Iowa (zip code for shipping is 50111).

We came across this boat at a collector car auction, it was being sold by another classic car dealer that had the boat on display in his showroom. Our dealership thought it would be a nostalgic addition to our dcor as welland even planed on pairing it up with a1950's Ford Truck but the truck has been sold. Original bill of sale dated July, 2nd 1957 and the original owners manual for the trailer are included with the sale. The boat measures 17ft from end to end at the front top to rear top, bill of sale states LENGTH 16'7"-BEAM 74"-DRAFT 0'8" Previous owner told us the engine runs fine and he had the boat out in the water last year. During the time we have had the boat it has been stored in our air conditioned showroom. The boat shows from what we can tell average-(for a 58yr old boat)or less than average wear to the exterior, exterior wood seems solid, paint is not new but seems ok, inside looks good and solid. The trailer comes with a current Iowa registration. Buyer will receive abill of sale for boat and trailer as well as trailer registration.

We are not a boat dealer and have limited knowledge of classic wood boats but after looking around on classifieds board and wood boat auctions we feel this is a decent boat that someone will enjoy. There is a low reserve on the boat so bid what you are willing to pay. Deposit of 500.00 due at auction end, Balance to be paid within three days after auction, Paypal for deposit only, balance can be paid by cash, cashiers check or bank wire.
