A PIECE OF AMERICAN BOATING HISTORY
The Hacker Boat Company was founded in 1908 by legendary naval architect John L. Hacker, whose innovative designs helped establish the performance and styling that made Hacker-Craft one of the most respected names in classic American boating.
Hacker-Craft boats are known worldwide for their craftsmanship, mahogany construction, performance and distinctive styling.
There are plenty of boats for sale. There are very few 1948 Hacker-Craft Triple Cockpit Runabouts. And even fewer with this level of restoration, documented history and show recognition.
If you've been waiting for the right classic wooden boat, this is one you need to see.
