Built by Hunter Boats of Orillia, ON. Hunter is best known for their 22' triple cockpit runabout models, but in 1946 the company built two very special custom boats. A pair of 26' runabouts were built with a higher freeboard and sloping stern decks. The result was a racy looking split cockpit and the two boats drew a crowd wherever they appeared. Both boats were powered by a 150HP Gray Marine Fireball engine. This example is the only remaining survivor and she was found as a gray boat and subsequently restored by her current owner. Fully reconstructed using period photos and original line drawings as a reference. No soak bottom, all new planking, unique hardware and running gear. An original Gray Marine Fireball engine was sourced and rebuilt for the boat and is included with the sale. She is currently powered with a new 4.3L Mercruiser engine. A photo album documenting the complete restoration will go with the boat. Full custom padded trailering cover and a custom built tandem axle trailer are included. This Hunter is stunning and needs nothing.
Custom built with angled bow stop and guide posts.
