![]() 18 ft long, 6.5 ft beam, 4” wide gunwales, 22” from top of gunwale to waterline, 28” gunwale to bottom of keel. It has been stored under cover since restoration, which was completed in recent years by Wykes Boatworks, Harlem, ON. Purchased in November 2021 from private owner who had not used the boat for two years. It comes with appropriate stern and bow flags, a rain shedding watertight mooring cover and an adequate road worthy trailer with new tires (Sept 2022), working lights and cool running hubs. Additionally the engine had a complete rebuild in 2013 including new heads, newly ground crankshaft and re-bored pistons with new piston rings, bearings, gaskets and seals. The 289 Ford Interceptor engine was ‘marinized’ by Holman Moody of NASCAR fame with a Holman Moody intake manifold and Holly 4 barrel carburetor. It has been well maintained, used every summer over the last 10 years with 2 varnish refreshings and 2 bottom paintings during that time. So the boat is of modern construction in a traditional method that will last far longer than when new. The boat has unique mahogany decking with all new bottom, sides, topsides and many ribs, and battens. It comes with a photo album documenting a complete rebuild in 1999-2000 using modern techniques with 3M 5200 in the traditional build method as when new. This is a unique and fun little Resorter with an interesting history that was featured on the cover of Century Boat Club “Thoroughbred Newsletter” No.119 – Summer 2010 Vol.31 No.2.
