1957 15 feet Berglund Sportsflyte Diplomat Runabout Vintage Investment Quality Woody.
One of the coolest old school woodies ever built with original "baked potato" outboard and original trailer. I had originally bought it to pull behind my red 1957 Thunderbird to car shows and I bet Best of Show would be guaranteed every time! My plans have changed and foreign relocation  forces sale. My loss, is your gain! My Tbird is currently being detailed and will be available shortly in separate listing.
The hull was glassed over years ago in order to reduce below waterline maintenance. She currently has decent bottom paint and ready for both fresh and saltwater. She is true attention grabber and showstopper guaranteed to steal the show at EVERY restaurant, launch ramp, boat and car shows, or just sitting pretty on display etc. Few months ago I commissioned $700 custom off white Sunbrella boat cover. Its still new, never used, nicely folded in its own carry bag.
Sizzling Performance and Luxurious Styling, combined with unmatched durability, The Berglund Sportsflyte will plane almost instantly thanks to the unusually large planing surface similar to that of high speed racing hulls. With amazing maneuverability, you're in complete control of this responsive boat, even in the tightest turns. Matching the performance with comfort in this gorgeous well-built craft will give you more fun than you thought you could have in this size of boat.
The Johnson Javelin 35 horsepower engine is in fantastic condition and with its art deco looks will catch everyone's eye!.
