A major drawback of the traditional wooden runabouts lies
directly in the fact that they are extremely narrow in comparison to what is
available to the purchaser of “white” boats. The traditional barrel transom
design typically lends itself to a very slender hull form. By using modern hull
dimensions, an almost 18 inch increase in width can be accomplished while
maintaining the classic design cues.
Refurbishing an antique wooden boat has its own special
place in the hearts of many and the idea of a boat requiring a minimum of
maintenance may not elicit the satisfaction that some receive from spending an
enormous amount of time varnishing and repairing their treasured toy. We at
Carlson Boatworks salute you for maintaining these classics from yesteryear,
because we love them too!
