Need help identifying this ... 14 years 6 months ago #8398
|
Hello,
I've acquired a little red boat that's 9 feet long. It doesn't have any manufacturer plates. One clue was that it had a mercury auto tranny control that looks to be from 57 58 59 60 or 61. Has anyone every seen one of these ? It's lines look like a seaking, just a miniature version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

What I've found when a pic will not post and it is within the size limit. If I resample the pic a just change the size by 1 pixel it will work. Hope this helps.

I can't identify the boat, but the controls are worth at least $100.00
 I've seen worse condition controls sell for more. |

Here's the catalog shot of the Playmate from the 1958 Tomahawk catalog. That was my first guess too. Interesting catalog though, I've never seen such blurred photography anywhere, let alone in a catalog from a well known builder.

The length of the little red boat is smaller at 9 foot 1 inch and the beam and transom is 46 inches.
This little red boat also has a straight form along the sides unlike the drawing of the playmate that widens at the transom. Thanks |

That design does have Tomahawk written all over it. The 1958 Play mate was 10 ft long, had a 46" beam and a 40" transom. Would they have rounded 9'-1" up to 10 ft?

In the late `50s ,the boat length would have been measured along the gunnel ,and not straight front to back.

It looks like a match to my red Tomahawk Playmate. Measured around the gunnel it is 10ft 2in. I would like to visit with you about the steering setup.
