Darn good deal as long as things like the transom aren't shot. Know how many hours on the motor? Tough to tell in the pic, but it looks like it is in decent shape, although that prop has seen some sand.

Max bid was $65. I fully expected to lose that auction.

The transom is solid, as is the floor. No clue as to what the motor hours are.

That's a damn good deal. Easy to fix up compared to what we do to our trucks. Just hope the fiberglass don't have any soft spots.

Ssshh!!! We're keeping this on the DL for now... They won't believe what I got it for until I show them the signed, notarized bill of sale that says $62.

Brought the boat back to my buddy's house today... Let me tell ya, that thing is SOLID. I was jumping on the floor and it didn't give a bit. We were banging on the transom, it is solid as can be. Aired up the old tires on the trailer, threw some new lights and wiring on it, and drove it home. Tires held the hole way home. Threw a tarp over it to keep it semi clean. Apparently, the motor runs but there is an electrical problem so it won't run for very long or anything higher than idle maybe? I have no idea. Only took two quick pics of it cause it was getting dark and cold...





The steering wheel says TOM SAWYER on it. The boat make listed on the title is Tomsa, pretty sure that is short for Tom Sawyer. Any info on these things?

Yeah I saw that, but that was ALL that I could find. Couldn't even find any info for a 16' outboard boat.

You might be able to get some OE literature.

In order by company, most of the way down.
