TOPIC: 1959 Bronson Runabout

I have owned my grandfather's old boat for about 27 years. It is a 1959 Bronson runabout. I would like to see if I can restore the boat, motor and trailer. I have found lots of valuable information about the 1959 Evinrude 10hp Sportwin Golden Jubilee, but I seem to be running into dead ends when it comes to the boat and boat manufacture. The trailer is also a 1959 Hulsc. I'm looking for any information about the boat and picures so I can see what it originally looked like. I think it is pretty darn close to original. It would also be interesting to know what value other than sentimental there may be in the set.

Bronson Boatbuilding Co. 4301 South Union. Tacoma, Washington. May have only been in business that one year (from Tail Fins and Two Tones). Let's see some pics.

My profile picture is the boat, outboard and trailer.

Mark, some larger pics and other angles may be helpful. There was a trend at that time to take hulls from larger manufacturers and use that as molds to make knock offs. (Glastron and Dorsett were common ones to copy). We might be able to give you a little insight from that.
