NEW MAHOGANY RUNABOUTS BY BOOMSLANG BOATS

It is constructed of epoxy and glass laminate over with 3/16ths mahogany planks set in epoxy. It is a modified deep V hull design with a 17 degree dead rise.
#2 Stem: The stem features a hand crafted chrome cutwater and a flying lady mascot, just like Horace Dodge used on his boats in the 1930’s. The trailer’s bow chock was removed for the photograph.
#3 Bow: The Mahogany planks feature black epoxy seams. The bow cavity is filled with foam flotation.
#4 Windshield frames: The chromed bronze windshield brackets are forged from the original 1930’s Chris craft’s molds.

#10 An elegant reverse curved transom featuring huge chrome exhausts.

#13 Front view of engine. This is a Subaru EA-82, 1800 cc, 4 opposed cylinders, 83 hp @ 4400RPM’s. The engine rebuilders will warrant this for 1 year after sale.
The engine has a closed loop cooling system using a heat exchanger. There is also an open loop system using raw water to cool the exhaust manifolds. Exhaust waters collect in the water-lift muffler which provides a very authentic exhaust rumble.
#14 The transmission is a ZF 12M 1.5 two speed which turns a cogged drive belt which then turns the drive shaft.
#15 The cockpit can seat 3 people, although it is not large. There is plenty of leg room under the forward deck.
The price of the single cockpit on a new trailer is $29,500
