If you like that one, you should see the Miss America X that was restored by members if the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum. It's 30 feet long, 8 feet wide, powered by twin WWI vintage V-12s and steared using a rudder mounted under the front half of the hull. The twin props are located in a square cut recess under the driver and mechanic seats, driven by shafts that are almost parallel with the hull bottom. This boat is also a Harmsworth trophy winner from the 1920s. Sorry I don't have any pictures of it

we saw this yesterday evening on hwy. 50 in va., near winchester. really caught my eye ('cuz it's BEAUTIFUL), & i went to grade school & raced d class ob's with gar wood's grandson gary wood, in miami back in the 60's. this boat was absolutely spotless!! hard to see, but the transom shot shows 2 white led lights low on the transom to light up the wake at night. made my day just seeing it. now i want a ride in the dual cockpit beauty.......

There are several GarWoods in the Lake Tahoe area. In fact if you are in that area ever in the early part of August you have to check out the Annual Concours D'Elegance boat show. Over a hundred wooden boats usually show from runabouts on up dating back to the early 1900's. It really a thing of beauty. You can always see a bunch of wood boats for sale at Sierra Boat Company's website as well. I go on it and dream every once in a while.
