Seller has it as a 1957 Feather Craft:

But it very closely matches the 1959 posted on another forum:

I have requested more pix from both current owners. Both look to be 16'. I am very close to choosing to start negotiating w/ the owner of the not yet restored Clipper.

Haven't yet gotten info @ paperwork/titles. But based on past experience, I can get it reg & titled in WV.

Another for sale in MN:

And a 3rd in Alabama:


I'm leaning toward it being a 1957 or 58 but their all fine looking craft. I was thinking they were fairly uncommon. Found 3 for sale in 4hrs, not searching too hard.

Definitely looks more like a 1957 based on this pix:

All of the exterior hull that isn't bare aluminum on the 1st boat I posted, should have been anodized blue..... Gold should all be anodized as well.
