I work for this old lady doing handy man projects around her house. Today she informed me that in the woods was a bunch of things I could clear out if I wanted them. First is a couple boats. Some old cars ETC. Well No cars where found although im not giving up on finding them. So heres the deal. I found two boats. One is all wood and darn near turning back into dirt. The second is a Montgomery Wards sea king with really cool looking tail fins. Its like a 57 chevy. Ive seen a boat like it before but only once. Can anyone tell me if its worth hauling out of the woods? Ill have to make a road to get to it and also have to find a trailer. Is it worth it? Any info on the boat?

If it's fiberglass and looks in the same family as this Seaflite Seville, I'd say there's someone out there somewhere wanting it.

MUST HAVE PICS! If it looks anything like Hydra posted, please post pictures. That is definitely a head turner Hydra. That boat is for nothing but for showing off.

One thing to try is www.fiberglassics.com they have all kinds of help for old fiberglass boats. Some of the hulls on their gallery page are out of this world!!!

Just do a search and you will find several on the INTERNET. I just found a 1957 MW Sea King in a couple minutes. Is it worth fixing up is strictly up to you. With the help of the folks on here you can fix just about anything.

Good Luck
