Default found it finally

i have been looking through some pretty obsure web sites. but i finally found a color picture of my dads boat. he bought this boat in 1946 he sold it around 1987.- i can't remember excatly when- now i want to own it..according to the currant owner-not the guy pop sold it too-it still has the 402 chevy moter in it.. and runs great..
this boat is the 1946 glenn L also known as the cracker box boat..the excate same boat my pop owned for 40 years.. no it is not for sale -bumber - yet..

yeah 100% teak and walnut wood. the bottom is a special paint that cost out the hoo hoo.. the guy that currantly has it paid about $38,000 for it..and ya thought bass boats are high huh? the sides are a single peice of teak wood about 2 inches thick and 24 feet long. the shine is from expoy resin that coats the entire boat. the bottom -starting at the paint line-is walnut. inside is flooring is teak and balsa.-teak in the places you can see it- heavy ya think? it weighs in at a chubby 5800 pounds -dry hull weight- running it displaces 6800+ pounds.it has a tri axel trailer
dad used to pull it with an old international stake bed truck.

i have no idea where this picture was takin -looks like a big a$$ed swimming pool to be honest-

If it floats, you can fish from it. That's a beautiful boat, and your negative, grammatically incoorect comments about everything are not appreciated.

Zook- How fast does she run?

i didnt mean to be negative, its a really, really beautiful boat. i just said that there isnt much room for fishing, so it would be harder than a regular bass boat.

ZOOKER,
I missed out on a chance to buy a 1948 25 ft Cris Craft a few years ago tht looked very similar to that boat, except it needed a lot of work and TLC. Some A..H... had painted it white. (Probably with house paint) It disappeared before I got a chance to get back to inquire about it.

He probably wouldnt fish out of as its not a fishing boat, and he would not run her near heavy cover, or shallow water. He has a boat for fishing, therefore would have no need to fish out of that one. Some boats are made for beauty, not fishing!

A boat like that is meant for cruising and answering a lot of questions about. Just put it in the water and add women.

zooker, that is one beautiful boat. somethings in life are to be admired for their beauty. and i think too, it appears to be in a swimming pool, kinda reminds me of "second hand lions", with the yacht in a pond in their back yard in texas. perhaps the opportunity for you to acquire the boat may arise in the near future, i hope so.

Is that the same boat that is Indiana Jones and the Last crusade? It sure looks like it - you know, when they are in Venice?
