There are a couple of tip offs that this isn't "real". For one, no
copper bottom which was common for ships that plied the tropics.
Assuming that the white part is the water line, there isnt' any tar
below the water line which was also common on small ships of that era
- think of the tar as a precursor to bottom paint.

I just got off the phone with your Contender dealer, fella. Because of
the sharp deal you cut on the price, you're getting tar on the bottom
instead of bottom paint.

Enjoy!

Wouldn't surprise me any. :)
