2014 Mercury Double Cockpit, Some of the most beautiful boats ever built were gorgeous mahogany runabouts of the 1930's and 40's. Beautiful as they were, they were a maintenance nightmare. The plank and seam bottoms invariably leaked from the rough ride produced by the primitive bottom shape. That of course led to rot. The beautiful varnished topsides had to be sanded and varnished again every other year. The engines were heavy, inefficient, and they consumed a lot of fuel.Mahogany Heartthrobs has solved all those problems. The deep V bottom profile produces a smooth comfortable ride under most conditions. The hull is seamless epoxy and glass composite with real mahogany planking set into the epoxy. It will never leak- unless holed of course. There is no varnish to be maintained. The mahogany is finished in clear epoxy and automotive clear and will not require maintenance.The new models are powered by Mercury's 3.0 L TKS motor and Alpha I outdrive which will produce nearly 50 mph. Boat length is 15'11" on a new trailer with folding tongue. Each boat is produced by one man working alone. The mahogany used was salvaged from Higgins Boat building shop laid up to plank PT boats during WWII. A bit of history finally going to sea. $45000, 6159622519

Some of the most beautiful boats ever built were the mahogany runabouts of the 1930's and 40's. But they were a maintenance nightmare with leaking plank bottoms and pealing varnish. The new runabouts from Mahogany heartthrobs have solved all those problems. The hulls are seamless epoxy/glass composites with 3/16" mahogany plank laid into the epoxy surface. No varnish is used on these boats- the final finish is clear epoxy and automotive clear coat. Boat length is 15'11" on a new trailer with folding tongue which will fit into most suburban garages. The new models are powered with Mercury’s 3.0 liter TKS engine with Alpha I stern drive which provides performance approaching 50 mph. Each boat is hand built by one man working alone in a shop in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Each boat is planked with mahogany salvaged from the last remaining stock of Higgins Boat Building shop that was laid up to plank PT boats during WWII. A bit of history finally going to sea.
