1965 Corson 30hp

Recommended Posts

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!!😀👍

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!

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.     :handgestures-thumbup:

@Stepney @JCM You are both correct. Chris Craft, wooden? Right?

@Stepney it looks like the same external shape as the Corson, V nose with a flat bottom! It looks in good shape!!
