TOPIC: Need info please on 1959 White House Cruiser‏

I am interested in any information anyone can offer on this 1959 White House cruiser.
I cannot find much of anything using a web search.

Approximate ballpark value would be good to know too.

Thank you-

Whitehouse Reinforced Plastic Company had locations in Fort Worth, Texas and Warsaw, Indiana. Ben Whitehouse Jr. and Roland E. Ladewig are two folks associated with the company.

The boat you have was sold as the Lark Liner model in 1959 and the Columbia model in 1960. Presumbably it was discontinued in 1961 since it is not pictured in the brochure for that year.

Mercury tested one in 1958: the resulting report is located in the Whitehouse section of the Classic Boat Library:

Attached is a photo posted here awhile ago of a similar boat:

Here's one Tom had at Cheap Old Boats - he might be able to shed light on price.
Pretty cool boat!

Thanks for all the useful information Andy!
Would you by chance have any idea as to the current ballpark value of this boat?

Thanks for your help too Peter.
I am really curious about getting as much information as possible including the ballpark value so I have already contacted Tom's Cheap Old Boats for some help. Thanks again for the tip.

I purchased the one Tom had and may be interested in this one also. If it's for sale or might be in the future please let me know. Thanks

Mind if I ask what you paid for the one Tom had? I understand the style is different but was curioous as to the ballpark price that these are fetching.
