Ahoy Matey. If you missed The Fort Lauderdale Boat Show you missed seeing this marine classic.
October 22, 2012 Amazing - a boat company that has been building classics for more than 100 years!
For over 100 years Hacker-Craft boats have turned heads everywhere they cruise. They range in size from 25 to 33 feet. As the company says: “Our boats are sturdy in construction, wide in beam, offering a bit more freeboard for dryness and sea-going quality--these meticulously built boats carve through the water with ease and comfort. Their contemporary designed transoms--with built in steps and swim platforms--make for easy boarding in and out of these boats when swimming, waterskiing and tubing.” Hacker-Craft boats will be at Bahia Mar land spaces 1086-1087 at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, October 25-29, 2012. The new 27’ Tommy Bahama speedboat, a combination of cutting edge technology and retro elegance, will be also be on display. Master boat builders invest more than 1,400 hours to hand build Hacker-Craft’s magnificent vessels. The custom colored mahogany hull and decks gleam with 15 coats of hand brushed varnish. A spokesman at Hacker once told me “everything on a Hacker-Craft serves a purpose. There is nothing put there merely for show.” An Ilmor MV8 6.2L 430 horsepower engine powers some Hacker-Craft boats, so the captain can go bounding over the waves fast, in ultimate nautical style. MSRP range from about $139,000 to $201,000.
