    YOU ARE LOOKING AT A VERY RARE 1956 DIXIE CRAFT 16ft RUNABOUT BOAT. MECHANICALLY IT IS WATER READY AND RUNS GREAT. IT WAS MADE IN CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE BY THE HODGE BOAT MANUFACTURING COMPANY TO COMPETE WITH CHRIS CRAFT THAT ALSO HAD A FACTORY IN CHATTANOOGA AT THAT TIME. THIS BOAT IS VERY RARE AND IT IS BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY ONE IN EXISTENCE. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE IT IS CONSTRUCTED FROM AFRICAN MAHOGANY. THIS BOAT HAS NO ROT AND IS ALL ORIGINAL. IT HAS A 35hp 50th ANNIVERSARY EVINRUDE LARK OUTBOARD.  THE ENGINE RUNS GREAT AND HAS ALL ORIGINAL CONTROLS. IT IS ELECTRIC START AND CHOKE AND IT ALL WORKS AS IT SHOULD. IT HAS A NEW BATTERY, GAS TANK AND BILGE PUMP. THE GUY I GOT IT FROM PUT MARINE CAULK ON THE BOTTOM BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW THE WOOD WOULD SWELL. PERSONALLY I WOULD REMOVE THAT.  THIS BOAT SAT IN A BUILDING FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY IT IS IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION. I CAN'T FIND ANY BAD SPOTS ANYWHERE. THE TRAILER IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH GOOD TIRES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK. I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THESE BOATS BY ANY MEANS SO IF YOU NEED CERTAIN INFORMATION JUST ASK AND I'LL TRY TO HELP. YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME LOOK AT THE BOAT IN PERSON BEFORE YOU BID. THANKS FOR LOOKING. GOOD LUCK ON WINING THIS REALLY COOL BOAT.
