Up for sale is a 1961 Elgin 15 foot utility fiberglass boat with a 1961 75hp Elgin motor . This boat was purchased brand new in 1961 and the former owner passed away before he could use it. It has been sitting in a garage in upstate New Hampshire in storage never used. I bought it off of a collector who picked it up from the original owner’s daughter. They never used the boat. It was played in by the children when they were younger, but it never saw the water there is still plastic on the seats. The windshield is 99.99% flawless the white part of the boat is in very good shape. The red has spider cracks on the gel coat in the back by the outboard motor and in front of the windshield, but It is strictly cosmetic. The motor has not even been started by the original owner. It did get started at the factory before being shipped. The flywheel still has paint all on the teeth. Just letting you see that it’s never been used. The gas tank is spotless on the inside, but it has a Whiff of old gas. Maybe when the boat was purchased they rented at the marina or where he bought it from and they never used it since the trailer is the original Tee nee tilt trailer. It does have magnetic mounted trailer lights now the original ones have since been old and decrepit falling off. It has brand new tires and rims on it. I have the original tires and rims for it. They are perfect with the exception of the dry rotting on the side wall. I trail this boat back from Massachusetts and it trailed beautifully. This boat is too nice for me to have. I prefer aluminum. It either belongs in a museum or it needs to be used. Again, I have never fired up this motor. I have never tried to fire it up. It is not seized. It has unbelievable compression and as you can see in the pics, it was never run by the original owner.

This is the original trailer for the boat came with the boat same year as the boat same manufacturer or partners with Elgin to make it. It has brand new tires and rims on it. It does have newer lights on it, but they are magnetic LED lights. The original lights are on the trailer, but due to the age and everything else they don’t work.

Comments:
This boat is an oddity only because the motor cover says it’s a 70 hp but the ID tag which includes the serial number and model number state it’s a 74.5 hp motor. The only answer to that is is in 19 61 1/2 and up they discontinued the 70 hp and we’re powering them up with the 75. I think they only had 70 hp emblems and that’s what they put on this cover, but it is a 75 hp motor according to the serial and model number on the actual engine.
