That's me. Half glassed. Just picked up this little beauty in Salem this morning. 1950 something Mercury inboard. Glassed hull. Woodie on top. All new upholstery, gray 4-85, all hardware there. Broken windshield but pattern pieces and frames there, custom trailer, full cover, engine box cover, the full monty. Some bow damage where she rubbed against the dock in a storm. Easy fix. Title says 1961 Mercury but I don't think they made Mercury runabouts in the 60's. Trying to contact the original owners so may get more info. All the deck and dash hardware is cherry so off it comes right away and into dry storage.
I had to give one of these up when we moved to Mexico so feel very fortunate that this one came my way. Happy camper in Oregon, Mike
