Gravenhurst Boat Show - Rascal

This is a home built boat. He did such a good job with the wood that he didn't even add a rub rail to the seam between the sides and the deck. The decals on the 60 HP 4 stroke add a vintage vibe.

My preference for wooden boats is generally inboards, but the Rascal and the Raveau work for me.

What a great job on both the boat and engine!

stretch that to 27' with a pair of new new monster mercs and i'd have a hard time deciding on it or a tuff! a winning lottery ticket would get both and I could put my challenger on the lawn and throw rocks at it!

Could you live with less power? The old boats are too narrow for twins. Peter Breen boats from Cambridge (not far from Tuff) has some for sale. https://www.breenboats.com/

It would be a hard call after winning the loto whether to stop at Breen or Tuff first. You ought to post pictures of your twin engine Challenger. Is it show ready? It would be cool to see at Gravenhurst next year.

Mint Julip is for sale. It's a 1928 Ditchburn 28 Viking. 200 HP Kermath, stepped bottom, claimed 45 mph in the 1929 brochure. I saw another Viking in the spring at Double R getting a new 550 HP motor.
Cash Call is also for sale. It's a 26 Breen original from 2007 with a single 350 Mecruiser
