AHS 1,440 #1 Posted July 24, 2020 I have owned this Corson (made in Maine!) for 15 years. Along the way, it’s got new seats, a new carpet, newer motor (91 30hp)...and loads of other stuff. Anyway, I did electrical work for a buddy, and it turns out he does fiberglass and car polishing, and said “you can make the top of that boat, the dark red part pop!” I gave the boat to him, and I was wondering what kind of 55 year old red paint... pop... I doubt it! But, boy was I wrong!! The Corson is just begging for me to take it fishing!!😀👍 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stepney 2,325 #5 Posted July 25, 2020 Corson used very good quality materials. I nearly bought an older one a few months back, wound up with a 1958 Chris Craft though. She looks nice! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,177 #6 Posted July 25, 2020 Built in Madison Maine. Great old school boat, trolled for Salmon on Sebec Lake about 5 years ago where I owned a couple of camps. The boat was owned by my neighbor who recently sold it for a smaller boat. Had a great weekend and enjoyed fishing in a real Maine classic boat. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AHS 1,440 #7 Posted July 25, 2020 @Stepney @JCM You are both correct. Chris Craft, wooden? Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AHS 1,440 #9 Posted July 26, 2020 @Stepney it looks like the same external shape as the Corson, V nose with a flat bottom! It looks in good shape!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
