The vessel’s registration number and manufacturer’s name are painted on the sides, while its home port, Homewood, and name, Miss Tahoe, can be found on the transom. The foredeck, cover boards, and quarterdeck are made of plywood with varnished mahogany planks and payed seam overlays. Gar Wood rubber step pads are fitted on the dark-stained gunwales, and polished brightwork includes the cutwater, deckware, engine compartment vents, rub rails, and quarter rails. Miss Tahoe’s semi-planing hull is constructed with seam and batten mahogany and measures 28′ 6″ long and 7′ 4″ wide. It is now offered with a 2006 marine survey and a triple-axle trailer, along with clean California titles in the museum’s name for both the trailer and boat. This Gar Wood runabout was donated in 2002 to the seller, the Tahoe Maritime Museum, and served as their ride boat on and off between 20. Both the fore and aft cockpits are equipped with raked, V-shaped windscreens, and an 894ci Scripps V12 drives a bronze propeller through a forward/reverse transmission.
It was purchased in the 1994 by Bob and Nancy Cunningham, who renamed it Miss Tahoe and commissioned a restoration. The boat was acquired by the Marsten family in 1956 and reportedly won a number of Tahoe Yacht Club regattas in the late 1950s. It was originally owned by Jake Obexer of Obexer’s Boat Company, who used it as his personal vessel on Lake Tahoe. More photos of the top are provided below.This 1939 Gar Wood is a 28′ runabout that features a semi-planing mahogany hull with triple cockpits. It is located at Classic Restoration and Supply in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, whereas the boat and trailer are in Clayton, New York. Included in the sale, the removed sedan top has been stripped but not yet refinished.
The engine turns a single bronze propeller via a forward/reverse transmission. Excerpts from a marine survey conducted in May 2020 are presented in the photo gallery below. The seller notes that the engine has accumulated approximately four hours since the refurbishment, but the boat has not been in the water. The Chrysler Type C inline-six produced 90 horsepower when new. A polished gear lever is mounted to the floor and a throttle control is mounted on the steering column.

Mahogany gunwale tops are contrasted by gray flooring. The cockpit features three rows of bench seats upholstered in red leather, with additional padded seating on top of the engine compartment. Additional equipment includes a split windscreen, a stern flag post, as well as bright hardware, rub strips, and cutwater.Ī galvanized Sea Lion single-axle trailer is included in the sale and has a Curt tongue jack and carpeted bunks. The bottom was painted red and a white waterline stripe was added. The hull was reassembled using 3M 5200 mahogany polyurethane marine sealant. The mahogany over oak hull was stripped to bare wood, broken planks were repaired, the wood was stained and sealed, and twelve coats of varnish were applied during the refurbishment.
