BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC WOODEN BOAT, TRULY A ONE OF A KIND, THIS BOAT WAS BUILT IN THE MID 1960'S BY THREE MEN, A FRENCHMAN. A, SWEDE AND AN ITALIAN, THE THREE MEN DECIDED TO BUY SOME LAND IN THE BOUNDARY WATERS OF CANADA AND WANTED TO BUILD A CABIN THAT THEY COULD ALL SHARE AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE YEAR. IN 1954, THEY BUILT THEIR FIRST WOODEN BOAT, IN 1957 THEY BOUGHT A PARCEL OF LAND THAT WAS IN THE WATERS OF CANADA AND DECIDED TO BUILD THEIR CABIN, IN 1957 THEY USED THE FIRST BOAT THAT THEY BUILT WHICH BELONGED TO THE ITALIAN TO HAUL LUMBER FROM THE SHORE TO THIS PARCEL OF LAND WHICH WAS 2 HOURS AWAY, FIVE YEARS WENT BY AND THE THREE IMMIGRANTS DECIDED TO BUILD ANOTHER BOAT FOR THE FRENCHMAN WHICH WAS COMPLETED IN 1964, BOTH BOATS BUILT IN 1954 AND 1964 WERE IDENTICAL, IN 1965 THE, THREE MEN DECIDED TO BUILD YET ANOTHER BOAT FOR THE SWEDE, WELL THE SWEDE AFTER BUILDING TWO BOATS DECIDED NOT TO CUT ANY CORNERS ON BUILDING HIS OWN BOAT, HE WENT ALL OUT, THIS MAN WAS GOOD, THIS BOAT WAS BEING BUILT WHEN I WAS 2 YEARS OLD, I WENT THROUGH LIFE JUST LOVING BOATS BECAUSE OF THEM. WHEN YOU SEE THE QUALITY IN THIS BOAT YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE WORKMANSHIP OF THESE 3 MEN. AND TODAY, 50 YEARS LATER I AM THE OWNER OF THIS ONE OF A KIND BOAT AND MY 3 FRIENDS ARE WATCHING OVER THIS FROM HIGH ABOVE. THIS BOAT IS TRULY AN EXAMPLE OF HIGH QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP, IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND GARAGE KEPT UNDER HUMIDITY CONTROLLED CONDITIONS, THIS BOAT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR 26 YEARS BUT PUT INTO THE WATER AT LEAST 6 TIMES JUST AS PART OF ITS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT: FULL CUSTOM COVER, MOUNTED ON A SINGLE AXLE TRAILER WITH FULL CARPET BUNKS SO THE BOAT BOTTOM AND SIDES ARE WELL PROTECTED FROM ANY STEEL, TIRES AND RIMS ARE FAIRLY NEW. CHROME EXHAUST, IN TAKE AND OUT TANK VISIBLE NEAR THE TRANSOM, WHICH IS 2" SOLID OAK, THERE IS A SPARE MOUNT ON THE TRANSOM FOR A KICKER MOTOR, IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE THERE IS A TRANSOM SAVER (IT'S A BAR OR AN ARM THAT HOOKS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MOTOR).

THE PADDING REDUCES THE RISK OF A FIRE IN YOUR ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ALSO HELPS FLOTATION IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, I BELIEVE THAT THIS BOAT HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE WATER 6 TIMES SINCE IT WAS BUILT. IN MY MIND WHOEVER IS INTERESTED IN THIS CLASSIC WOODEN BOAT WILL BE GETTING ONE PRIZE JEWEL. QUESTIONS? PLEASE CALL PAT@ 815-209-8285.
