Makalika, at 120 years old, is a very special piece of history. Built in 1902, she was bought in 1903 and moved to a Muskoka boat house in 1904 and the original family loved her for 115 years. In 2017, she was bought by the current owner and moved to Bala for restoration. Makalika's hull was built by the Matthews Boat Company of Port Clinton Ohio in 1902. She then went to the Lozier Engine Company in Plattsburgh NY for completion. The 23’4” hull is “carvel construction using 5/8” red cedar on oak ribs capped by a red oak combing and deck.” The original power was likely a one cylinder 3 HP Lozier inboard engine. It was replaced by a 1938 Kermath Sea Cub 25 hp, which is still providing very reliable service. In 2020, she received a new bottom, ribs, wiring, fuel system, tiller, throttle control, top and upholstery.
