I picked up a 50's model MFG the other day and looking for some ID help, i will post the pics as soon as I get back to the house, trying to find out how much of the boat is original and what may be redone in the past, the boat has a Evinrude 35 "electric twin" OG Evinrude gas tank etc, Kainer steering wheel, I know this is useless until I get the pics up but wanted to get info on the boat and maybe an approximate value, Just thought it was unique and be fun at the local lake to take my little girl out on from time to time. Pics at bottom...finally figured it out

The 44 inch Mahogany deck on mine was torn off by a previous owner. It is used just to fish. It has an inverted A frame for a transom.

Corry , Suburban in amazing shape. WoW. This is what mine started out as. If I had the parts I'd put her back. Maybe I will after I do my Winner.

My guess would be 58 to early 60's. I would say it is all original. My capacity plate says it good to 30 hp and 900 lbs capacity. Mine has a wooden keel running up the inside of the boat. I seen one made of metal bur could not see it well and not much of it since it was full of junk. Mine is a 58.

It appears to be almost all original...even down to the spring loaded tie down chains! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

It's hard to put a value on old boats. You may only get $1200 out of it if you sale it and if a collector wants it maybe more. My 59 Winner was free with an old West Bend Motor. All in rough shape. Transom was solid. A few years back I put mine up for sale with a newer fish finder and a 2003 Honda 8 hp 4 stroke and only one person looked at it and offer me $600.00. I told him to leave, the outboard was worth more than that. Boats are funny when value is involved.
