Seems to have been a 50s style thing. I bet even condoms back then had tail fins.

I don't know how rare these are... I've seen one other for sale, along a highway in MN.

If it is really rare,

and for the price asked..

I'd buy it just for the "fun"/"cool" factor..

And then make my stab at a restore...

Ad says it has fiberglass damage?

For that price, if nothing else it would make an awesome planter to have in the yard.

I'd definitely go look at it, the damage might not be that bad?

No doubt $150 would only set a person back, well, not much!

Yep, a 1958 or 1959 SeaFury. Very cool and rare boat. The boat is quite the head turner. I cannot reduce the file size of the picture of my boat or I would post it. Ironically, it will soon be up for sale. I have finished my restoration other than putting in a new stereo and some trim. Other than that, it's done. Mine is powered by a 1959 45 HP Mercury Mark 58AE. Was last on the water this past summer towing kids and wife in the tube. I have only ever seen a handful of these on the internet. As a matter of fact, I just saw one on Ebay today with a starting price of $15,000. Larry

Here's the pic. Not very good one though.

Definitely a retro look. I have only seen a few myself, and I have been around, well, awhile.
I think it would be a cool project.

Re: What is this? - 1959 Seafury Boat

they seem popular here too..

I found another one listed the other day...

I need more fiberglass experience before I tackle that...

That's definitely a Sea Fury: http://newlondonfinearts.com/seafury4.html

The prices for these type boats range from next to nothing to whatever someone will pay. A boat with fins is very desirable. If you find one with fins and headlights, the desirability increases exponentially.

I saw one with fins and simulated tail lights!!

that must have been a fun mold back in the 60's.....

Re: What is this? - 1959 Seafury Boat

the tail lights were real, harness plug into the boat.
