This 26′ wood-hulled launch was built in 1934 by McNeil & Norris of Bala, Ontario, and is said to have been used as a hotel shuttle on nearby Lake Muskoka. The boat won several awards at Ontario boat shows following the refurbishment, including Best in Show and People’s Choice trophies. Features include dual cockpits upholstered in red vinyl as well as navigation lights, a dual-pane folding windscreen, fore and aft flag holders, and a three-blade bronze propeller.

The hull’s bottom was replaced and refinished in black during the refurbishment at which time the topsides and deck were sanded and varnished. The boat features an upswept raised-deck design as well as a polished cutwater, stainless-steel deck hardware, navigation lights, fore and aft flag holders, and a dual-pane folding windscreen.

Photos taken before and during the refurbishment can be viewed in the gallery below.

The aft cockpit houses two bench seats upholstered in red vinyl along with rear-facing wicker seats, and the smaller forward cockpit contains a matching bench and wraparound coaming pad.
