1957 14 Ft. Cadillac wooden boat, Model # 564, Serial # 119. This boat was completely restored in 2008-9 and had previously been in dry storage for over 25 years. There was some soft wood in the transom which was treated with Smiths CPES and two transom frames were replaced. The entire hull was stripped bare and treated with CPES prior to paint and varnish. A new white oak keel was fabricated and installed along with removing and treating the three interior struts before re-installing. The outboard motor is a 25HP, 1958 Gale Bucaneer, Model # 22DE158, Serial # 719488. The motor starts, idles and runs perfectly, and has been used at least once each summer since the boat was restored. New coils, points, condensers, wires, plugs, carb and fuel pump kits were purchased but not installed since the motor ran as is. These parts are included in the sale. A new impeller and lower unit clutch dog and forward gear were installed. The trailer is period correct and was sold by Montgomery Ward. Buddy bearings were installed after repacking the original bearings. Hitch is in good condition and new tailights wired and installed at time of boat restoration. New Carlisle tires were outfitted as well. This boat was voted "Favorite Outboard" in the 2011 and 2015 Heartland Classics antique boat show in Hot Springs, AR. I've trailered the boat to many car shows and pulled the boat in the 2012 Hot Rod Power Tour behind out 1957 Cadillac convertible. Local pickup, but will consider delivery alternatives. Payment by PayPal, USPS money order, Cashiers Check or personal check (allow 7 business days for clearance)
