There
are only two 35' StanCraft Speedsters in existence. This virtually
one off custom design is a new unregistered boat with 100 plus research
and development hours. The engines are brand new 2007 twin 465hp MerCruiser 496s (0 hours). Even at 50mph, this 7,000 pound beauty cuts chop like a hot knife!
The
front electric hatch hides a three-person rumble seat. The section
in front of the windshield is the engines with three feet in front
of them and 18 inches in-between in which to work.
Behind
each front seat is storage for bumpers, blankets etc. There is also
storage under the back seats. The fuel tank holds 120 gallons. The
shifters and throttles are chrome Marine Machine and the Monstor
gauges are Norskog including a GPS speedo. All gauges are analog
style with blue back lighting.
StanCraft
boats are all original designs since 1933. They are hand built and
finished with 12 coats of Epithane. They do not need to be refinished
or buffed. Just keep it covered and wipe it down with a damp rag
and it shines like new. The boat is built with a layer of waterproof
vinyl sandwiched in between to layers of mahogany. It is watertight
and never needs to be "soaked in".
This is the kind of boat that will be winning the classic boat shows
25, 50 and 100 years from now. You cannot drive this boat anywhere
without drawing a crowd. It is a two-of-a-kind work of art that
can and should be driven every day.
