1930 Dodge model 25A hull number 8. Believed to be the oldest in existence. Transom and bottom have been replaced, otherwise believed to have all original wood. The bottom is a no soak 5200 done by a professional shop that also installed a GM 350 block engine. The original Lycoming was running when taken out and has been stored in a safe environment along with all the conversion parts. Lycoming engine is available at a separate cost. All hardware was replated, new upholstery and a fresh coat of varnish in 2018. The boat has been stored on a lift over water inside an enclosed boat house since and lightly used. Comes with a tandem aluminum trailer. I have lots of history on the boat including correspondence from original owner in 1932 to the Dodge Boat Company. When the boat was reupholstered we found the original upholstery in place. This has been preserved and all skins have been saved for the Clayton Museum as a frame of reference. The new material matches the original in manufacturing style and color perfectly. Only known issues; prop is for the Lycoming not the 350. Stern Globe although period is not exactly correct but serviceable. As you'll see from the pictures she comes with a high quality dash panel and all the accessories as when she left the Newport News factory. This boat is an excellent piece of history and a great addition to any collection.
