Never heard of that name, but it does look like a mid 50's style boat, fiberglassics has no entries for that particular name. The engine on it is a mid to late 50's engine, but you might have yourself a conundrum there.

in the past 150 years, there have been many tens of thousands of boat manufacturers that have come and gone. many that made only one or two boats. of those, most disappeared before the internet came about.

It is available for $222 so I am thinking I will go ahead and buy it. Worst that could happen is I end up with a very large planter haha

make sure to get signed registration card, title if the state titles it and a bill of sale. without proper paperwork it is a yard planter

Neat boat! If the engine turns over, and you are looking for a unique little boat with lots of potential I’d say it is worth $222 in a heartbeat.
