    Description

    You are looking at a long deck launch with the following details:
    25 feet long with 6 foot beam
    Construction is Cypress planking.
    Year is a mystery, but possibly as early as 1911.
    Power: Two Engines included with this single engine boat. A Miller and a Universal.
    Comes with original Miller Engine which is a 12hp 4 cylinder. I was told that the engine had new babbet bearings poured and never tried to start after that. I took the Miller out and replaced it with a 1914 Universal Flexi Four 12hp. The Universal pushed the boat well, but started spitting oil (rings?), so there is no engine currently in the boat. Both the Miller and Universal will go with the boat.
    I replaced the stem all the way down to the keel when I got the boat about 13 years ago.
    A bit of a barn find, but not rotten.
    Some cracked ribs and lots of cosmetics.
    If I was keeping it, I would caulk the hull, repair the universal, and go for a ride.
    Trailer is sound but not road tested for 13 years. Brakes don't work on it.
    I'm happy to answer questions. Thanks for looking!
