Condition

- Per consignor, the boat has been stored in a climate controlled warehouse. Engine service provided by Conley Automotive in Brighton MI was performed in May 2017, and includes new spark plugs, wires and ignition connectors, oil change and fuel additive to protect the engine. The hull was evaluated in 2014 by Wooden Runabout Co. out of Holland MI, who also painted the hull and revarnished the sideboards and bottom. The current engine decal number does not match the original bill of sale documented engine, per consignor most likely the original motor was not performing to standard at the time of assembly and replaced by the manufacturer with next the available unit, also a straight 6 pre-war model K, which is the current and running motor. The upholstery was redone 2016, and prior to dry storage the boat last ran at Les Cheneaux Islands Boat Show, August 2016.
