This is a 1957 SORG all wood lapstrake designed boat that was built by the HENRY SORG boat company which was on Grand River Ave. in Detroit back in the 1950's. His company was noted for building very high quality runabouts and duck boats but there is very little information available on the company and its history. This boat is 15' long with a 64" beam and has a mid ship depth of 26". The transom height is 16". The boat is made of fir lapstrakes , with white oak keel-ribs-rubrails, and mahogany transom, dash, windshield, and assorted seat trim boards. It is a beautiful boat that was stored in a barn for many years and when found only needed to be refinished inside and out....there was no rot what so ever found during the survey. The windshield design is truly beautiful and makes the boat very attractive in my view. The refinishing process involved sanding, priming and two coating the exterior hull and sanding the interior and applying cetol penetrating finish. She is water tight and ready for use now. The trailer is a TEE NEE in good condition. While there is no motor included in this sale I am willing to give the buyer a late 50's Evinrude 35 HP outboard if they want it to renovate and add to the boat. It is a good used freshwater motor that has not been run in a few years but would be era correct. ( Free motor not shown in pictures). If you have any questions feel free to call me at 810-329-4372. I am in St. Clair, MI 48079
