Higgins Industries produced WWII Military Craft during the war and then turned the plants into pleasure craft production after the war. She has won multiple ACBS Best of Show, Best Preserved and People's Choice awards and is still in Concourse condition. Her trailer was built and specially modified to keep her safe and sound while not in the water. A true barn find she was sent to Dan Nelson to return her to her original glory. This was not just a rebuild it was a top-to-bottom restoration to original manufacturer's specifications. The transom and cabin sides have been restored with beautiful Mahogany veneer, which maintains her Preserved Status. David Van Ness rebuilt the engine and drivetrain to original factory specs - 135 HP Chrysler Crown 6 Cylinder Engine and Paragon Transmission. The engine has approximately only 200 hours on it as she was used primarily at various ACBS (Antique and Classic Boat Society) boat shows and events. The seller states that she is such a joy to cruise in with the windows open and the breeze flowing through the shaded cabin and the folks in the rear enjoying the sunshine. Even rainy days are fun-filled cruising out of the elements. She has always been stored inside in a temperature-controlled environment and properly winterized after each season. She has been in storage since 2020, when Covid 19 arrived. Now that the weather is warming up, she will get her bottom wet and tuned up to go cruising. Reason for selling is ready for a new project.
