(FS) 1958 Yellow Jacket Riviera

We just acquired this 1958 Yellow Jacket Riviera wooden boat from a local Dallas owner as part of a package of cars we purchased.

Thought I would offer up here to the FChat community before starting any broad marketing.

The story; This boat was first owned by our customer's father who gave it to him sometime after 1960. The original 25hp Evinrude was replaced in '63 with a more powerful Mercury outboard. After a few lake excursions in 1964, the boat was backed in the customer's garage over in the Prestonwood area of Dallas, where it has remained until yesterday afternoon..................that's right, it has not seen daylight since 1964. We aired the trailer tires up and cautiously drove back to our office in Carrollton for a closer look.

Of course it needs a restoration, but the boat is in surprisingly good condition. The exterior and interior of the boat show extremely well. We have not found any evidence of damage or wood decay on the boat; the propellor turns with a tug of the starting rope; even the keys are still in the ignition.

Excuse the pictures, I just snapped a few with my Iphone. We have not wiped any of the dust off yet as we wanted perspective buyers to see it just as we got it.

Please feel free to call me with any questions; 214.269.1576 or email me at [email protected]

We are going to list it officially at $7,500.00 but would listen to any reasonable offer.
