The interior of the boat is really nice too, the inner walls of the boat are finished in mahogany. The hull is in perfect shape, it cuts through the water perfectly. Most of them rotted away, this one is perfect with the Mercury 58A outboard that runs like a clock. These boats were handmade and they are very rare, very few exist today.

Never in my life have I taken on a project that has given me more of a sense of accomplishment." Matt Holmes - Auburn, WA The ride is nice and smooth and dry with zero porpoising or other wierd behaviors, and even on relatively choppy water, cavitation was minimal. It exceeded my expectations in almost every way. "Just got the boat in the water last weekend for the first time. I cannot wait for summer!!!!!!!!" -Bob Lemay Not a drop of water in the boat, no porpoising, no cavitation, no bow rise, no sliding, just a true straight incredible ride.
