1960 Dorsett Belmont 15.5 Foot Runabout

Here' a cute little fiberglass runabout straight out of late 50's/early 60's designed by Raymond Loewy "The Father of Industrial Design" who has also been called "The Man who Shaped America"! Some his most famous works include, Coca Cola Design, Studebaker Automobile Design, Lucky Strike Cigarettes, Trains, Boats and More. To learn more about his accomplishments, www.raymondloewy.com. Let's get on with this Jewel!

This little honey spent most of it's 46 years in the Cascade Lake region of Idaho up until several months ago when I rescued her and brought her to Boise, Idaho for some attention. The original patina of this boat is simply amazing. Please study the 3 full web-pages of detailed photos! Recent attention includes a professional polish of it's original gel-coat and chrome, new upholstery over solid original seating components, boat shop once over, new fuel tank and new H20 Pump. The Mercury Mark 35 Horsepower with electric start cranks right up and runs fine, the floors are ROCK SOLID and All Lights etc are operational. The Hull is spectacular with no signs of damage or delaminating, sure it has minor scratches here and there from expected normal use/age. The original Gator Trailer is exceptionally solid with all original components and spare (see sub-page), It is in need of a cosmetic restoration along with some new tires and a bearing repack.

In closing, this is perfect to tow behind your favorite Classic Car or Truck! Early plastic and/or fiberglass boats like this are very hard to find in this condition and are skyrocketing in value as Baby Boomers head back to the water! Simply, an amazing survivor that needs just a little bit more cosmetic attention to the vintage original un-restored Gator Trailer! ** GOOD LUCK!!!!
