vintage 1936 wooden race boat

Description

The boat was built in 1936. It was named in the 40's as the "Miss Bert" after the original owner's wife, Roberta. It has been passed down through 2 families, and enjoys the racing history of the Tri-City area on the Columbia River of Washington State.
This 1936 Mahogany Duel Cockpit was built with cooper rivets, The cooper rivets were known to be used in custom Reinell and other area quality built boats. The actual maker of this custom boat is unknown, but is believed to be from the Puget Sound area.
Mahogany was the top grade material used for the era. The side name and painting is original and vintage to this historic boat, this is not a recreation. You can tell the condition, boat has very low hours. There is no rot, and all wood seats, everything is original. Boat has always been kept on the original wood trailer in a heated garage type storage.

In the late 1960's the boat was refitted with a newer motor and side throttle controls (Mercury Mark 30) The original Johnson Seahorse 22.5 HP motor was placed on a stand in a heated garge where it sat for decades.
During the last decade, the low hours and original Johnson Seahorse 22.5 HP motor was rebuilt and polished and replaced on the boat. It runs strong & fast. I was told mid to high 30mph ranges for the sleek & light weight boat.
The Johnson outboard is a unique 2-cylinder with compression bleed off on one cylinder for easy starts. It also has a built in flush port for water hose. It turns over easily, but was drained of gas and winterized a fewe seasons ago. The steering wheel is active for the outboard. Boat has lived is life in the sunny and dry dessert areas of Eastern, WA.Motor is Model P-80 Serial No. 238760Should you have questions or like more pictures, please call Wendal 253 229 7811.
