Just in time for the Kool April Nites Classic Car Show here in Redding, California April 16th-26th.
This beautifully restored, 17ft. all-wood 1962 Thompson Sea Coaster Model 475 is the perfect accessory to show off your 60's classic automobile. This is no "Trailer Queen." It is a fully functioning pleasure boat that is always ready for the water or car/boat shows and will do your own restored classic justice. It comes with the original Gator trailer, which is also meticulously restored, and the original Evinrude Lark IV 40 hp 2-stroke outboard motor designed by the famous industrial and automotive designer, Brooks Stevens, which is faithfully maintained every season. This boat, trailer and motor have never been in saltwater and is always garaged when not in use. Total weight is 1435 lbs.; tongue weight is 120 lbs. and it can be towed by most any vehicle.
Many extras include: All new professionally made 7pc cushions with dense foam and marine grade vinyl. Original Bimini top, full camper tonneau cover with side curtains. New zippers were installed on all pieces including a custom-made Bimini cover. 2 fenders, 4 adult PFDs, 2 coast guard approved throwable floatation cushions, anchor, dock lines, emergency flag, auxiliary sounding horn, first aid kit, full dust cover, motor cowl cover, ball hitch insert, transom saver motor bracket, spare wheel and rock guard for safe towing. Everything you need for fun and safe boating on day one.
If you are in town for the car show, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. You will not find a better example of a Model 475 anywhere in the country except maybe in a museum. Titles and current registration in-hand.
A sea trial at Whiskeytown Lake can be conducted (weather permitting) for a non-refundable cash deposit of $80. I will deduct the deposit if the boat is purchased.
$7,500 cash only.
