Help!! Anyone recognize year of this boat? 9 years 8 months ago #98635

chillaggie Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Thank you received: 0	Good morning. I have inherited an old Cadillac boat with trailer. I am curious if it has any value. Obviously it has been painted and some modifications have been made to the Vhull. If you have any expertise please respond. Pics attached.

Thanks for posting photos.

It's a solid, plain old aluminum fishing boat, but unfortunately has no collectible value, especially as it is "refinished" and not "restored". Cadillac Marine stopped making boats sometime around 1960 (see full history in the Library), so your boat is certainly from the 1950's. Probably only worth its monetary value as a cheap fishing boat; much less than any family memories you may have with it.
