1930's Era Runabout Speed Boat Wooden Model

On this model, you can locate the beautiful crafted wooden and metal fittings such as steering wheel, seats, lights, propeller, and many more.

The "wooden runabout boat" we know today did not exist prior to the early part of this century, and, for the most part, ceased to be built shortly after its heyday of construction during the mid-1950's. Today, only small numbers of all-wood runabouts are built. The runabout is characterized by the all-wood construction of its hull (whether it is painted or stained and then varnished, and whether its deck is all-wood as well, or canvas-covered), and its inboard motor.
This powerboat model is fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).
