1958 Loy Craft 13' Runabout.

by Brian
(Fountain Inn, SC, USA )

I have a boat available that I would like to sell and one of your club members may be interested.

The boat is a 1958 Loy Craft 13' Runabout.

The boat has no interior, and for all intents and purposes no motor either.

There is no title for either the boat or the motor but I will include the motor as well because it is a complete early 60's 18 horse Evinrude outboard that would make a good parts motor at very least.

The boat is in incredible condition for with no holes or large cracks in the hull.

The trailer that its on comes with it and I have just put new wheels and tires on it, as the old ones weren't trustworthy.

I hope that you may know someone who would be interested in this project, I just do not have the time or the proper facilities to restore this boat and would rather it be enjoyed by someone and not just be sitting around.

 1956? Loy Craft.
by: ken Gurganus

I also have a 1956? 14 ft. Loy Craft with a newer 40 hp. purchased used in 1965.

Still in fair condition stored under a shed.

Looks sad under that tarp.

Hope to give it a refurbushing in the near future.

Great little runabout.

Did a lot of sking when I was younger.

These need to be preserved as they are becoming scarce.

 Wow

Would love to see any pictures of this boat that you may have.

My grandfather ( Jim Loy) owned Loy-Craft Boats which was located in Sumter, South Carolina.

I have been surfing the internet for years in search of one of his boats.

Have wondered if any of them had survived.

I have a brochure with the different models options, and pricing.

I could run a copy off and send it to you if you want one.

 Where manufactured?
by: Bob

I have this same model & year boat that will end it's life as a backyard ornament at my daughter's home on the Ashley River in Charleston.

As a dealer, I purchased it through a distributor in late 1957, but can't recall where it was built.

Great boat!
