Maybe. Always be cautious of scams on craigslist. When you ask to see it they will say it's in storage ready to be shipped to you.

Not really underpriced.those motors go for 400-600 depending on condition. Trailer a few hundred. Make sure the stringers , transom and ribs are solid.Not everyone on CL is a scammer. Get in touch and take a drive. Nothing to scam if the setup is there and all the paperwork is in order. Saw a 57 Chris go for 2700 recently that needed about 1000 worth of bright work. Same boat on antique sites going for 6g and up.Some woodys are worth more based on builders name or rarity.Dunphy is not a Lyman/Thompson/Pen Yan ChrisCraft etc.It would fall more on the rare side. I would not hesitate if I was looking for that style ride. Any questions on it , try fiberglassics,among other sites to check.Looks very nice!

Thanks for the link..lol

ts been posed before I believe, great looking boat and a decent price.
Those old woodies arent going to get any cheaper in the years to come.

If its as nice as it appears its a bargin. Only drawback I see is it is electric shift.
Which can be a problem if not properly maintained.Also I think parts are pretty rare.
That wouldn't put me off if it was presently working.

Looks cool to me... I never pay what they want on CL... If you like those wood rigs, good take a look...
