1924 John Hacker motor boat. During the 1920s-1930s the Hacker Boat Co. created some of the most iconic wooden motor boats that still last today. Absolute works of art. If I ever win the lottery...

Still in production today: https://hackerboat.com/

What are the two best days of boat ownership? Here is my prewar racer. Never did figure out what it was. Looked like it might have had the stearn removed at some point and made in to an outboard.

Btw, previous picture is the day I sold it. Here is the day I bought it.

The day you buy it and the day you sell it. Much the same as a collector car.

@BillSmith Truer works were never spoken.

@BillSmith My dad bought this in1963 when it was only a year old. We used it as our every day ski boat for over 50 years. In the end I could not give it away, although it was completely sea worthy but did need work. Donated it to charity.

@alsancle I can't believe nobody wanted that boat! Which engine did it have? The chevy or the big one?
