Description
This is a Original 1960 Kindsvater 17" Flat Bottom V-Drive Runabout with Lincoln 430 big block with 6 Stromburg 97s and Joe Hunt Vertex Magneto and other goodies.
You could call this boat (The Hot Rod Lincoln) Its Scary FAST...
It's an amazing boat. One of only ten built.
The motor has about 30 hours as it was rebuilt end of last summer.
It's a classic all wood boat.
It's all original with no modifications. It was built in 1960.
The trailer is the Original 1959 trailer that came with it. Its had the wheel bearing repacked and some nice running lights put on it. New tires.
The boat was found in a barn in Fresno which was stored for close to 30 years. It was part of an estate sale.
To date we believe it is the only one of its kind and condition left out of the ten that were made.
It runs and drives like new and has no issues. It turns heads where ever it goes.
I just don't have time to enjoy it. Too many other toys. It's super clean and a lot of fun.
Absolute time capsule that was stored by the original owner up until about 3 years ago. The hull retains all of its original gel-coat which remains in amazing condition. The top could stand to be freshen up but then it would not be original. This is a all wood boat. I have not been able to find to many more v-drive Kindsvater anywhere.
It's pretty rare to find a 57-year-old hull sporting its original wood and gel-coat, so if you want to be transported back to the So-Cal lake scene as it was many decades ago, this is just the ticket. Both the hull and the trailer have clear California titles and both are currently are registered.
There is still a lot of summer days and you could be cruising or ski the lake in this classic!
I' was advertising this for $33,000 (this is what I was told it should be worth) but I'm Lowing the price to $25k and open up to all offers and possible trades.
Might consider selling the boat with out the motor.
