17' Vintage Wood Boat Project 1958 McNiel
by Greg
(Lavonia, Ga)
SOLD
I have a 1958 McNiel 17' boat.
My research shows it was sold by Western Auto.
It has mahogany seats which I had begun to strip and sand.
I have all the parts, I just was not able to finish the project.
The boat will be an easy restoration, no rot anywhere.
I bought it at a yard sale about 20 years ago.
It has always been garaged.
It has a 40 hp Wizard motor.
There is a brass plate that says Scottdale, Georgia(a suburb of Atlanta) and I am guessing that is where it was manufactured.
I have not been able to find any record of McNiel Boats Manufacturers from that time.
The boat is located on Lake Hartwell.
I would love to see this boat brought back to its original glory but I am not able to do it and am willing to pass it on to someone that can finish her up.
