Wow, that is a special piece. Someone is a Wood Wildman.

That looks incredible! Please post more pictures. Better yet, start a build thread on your masterpiece! One of my all time favorite boats is a wood-decker - the Van Dam Custom Boats 32' 9" "Alpha Z".

What kind of V8 are you putting into it?

**matty b** · 02-19-2017, 08:29 AM

We used to power these with ilmor v10's. But they are making pretty big power with their v8's now. This one will get a 570hp v8.

I go to a wooden boat show or two every year. Would love one. Do you work for a builder?

**matty b** · 02-23-2017, 07:35 AM

Yes, this is a Gar Wood. We build them in brant lake, ny. This boat will be at the clayton show this year, along with the 28' streamliner you can see in the background.

David you should visit Blackbird boats in your neck of the woods. They were right up the road from where I used to live in Port Sydney, very impressive boats. Not to take anything away from this one of course...
