Boat ID: 28803

This iconic 1929 Minett Shields custom built and hand crafted 38 foot vessel was designed by John Hacker and is constructed of solid mahogany. This signature craft was the pride of the builder and was featured in many of the companies promotional material throughout the 1930's. It features a 2-step planing hull capable of speeds in excess of 50 MPH. The stepped hull design is considered the fore running design technology to that of the present day hydroplanes. The boat's innovative design has been imitated in days since but never duplicated, mass produced, nor has it been improved to this day. The boat is truly a unique, one of a kind, embodying not only stability, speed and comfort, but also embodies the elegance and style of a bygone era. This is a fabulous original custom built for James Murdoch who was the President of Noranda Mines and almost 30 other companies. Totally restored in 2010, she is a real beauty!!
