This rare Gar Wood, in good original condition, is in the water and running. Introduced during the depression, this model was advertised a "tpically Gar Wood in every detail from stem to stern and the greatest value ever offered in the low price class". the model proved successful, continuing through 1940 and the hull design was used for the very popular speedster. Only 15 of these 16 footers were built in 1938, and this boat is complete with factory hardware, gauges, sternlight, with everything intact and working down to the cigar lighter. The engine, original to the boat, was rebuilt in 1975 with little use since; the gas tank and lines were replaced last year. A spare engine is available. Never restored, the wood is all original and the boat is sound structurally and mechically. A cosmetic resoration to include a refinish, chrome and new leather would make thius little gem a show winner. Until then, it is a fine usuable boat to be enjoyed. Comes on a new trailer.
