It's history is quite unique and certain to be of interest to some. The original owner was Walter Morgan (google the name), the famous investigator in the Black Dahlia murder cases from the 40's and 50's in Los Angeles. In 2003, he revealed some long- awaited truths about the case in a CBS 48 Hours interview. Sadly, he passed away last year at the age of 92. His legacy lives on in his boat! To start, he had logged only 152 total hrs since he purchased it new in 1967! Although the boat has seen relatively little use, it has been sitting out in the elements for several years and also the victim of pilferage. Our first major stumbling block is trying to find a port side exhaust manifold that someone removed. Other than that and some minor wood, wire, cable, and carpet rot, it's in pretty good shape. It has all the original gauges and equipment which we'll probably keep for originality. This boat is looking for a new owner! Motor and outdrive removed. Steering, controls, gauges, and everything else remains. Hull is in EXCELLENT condition. Not so much the interior/stringers, but not too bad. $200. You transport. Let us know.
