Up for sale is a rare 1947 Gar Wood Utility, measuring 18 feet 6 inches, a true classic with significant restoration work already completed. As with many wooden boats, the full story often reveals itself only once the project begins, and over the years we've opened our fair share of “cans of worms.” Thankfully, this boat’s restoration was professionally started, and the difficult structural and foundational work is already behind you. The hull is solid, repairs have been professionally executed. Included in the sale is a Chrysler inline-six marine engine, and a trailer if needed. This is the perfect opportunity for a DIY enthusiast looking to finish a vintage wooden boat without starting from scratch, or for someone who prefers to hand the project off to a restoration shop for final varnish, upholstery, rigging, and detailing. Once completed, this boat will make a stunning vintage cruiser or showpiece. Comparable fully restored 1947 Gar Wood Utilities have fetched between $25,000 and $90,000 depending on configuration and finish quality, making this an excellent project with great investment potential. Whether you're looking to enjoy it on the water or display it at classic boat shows, this Gar Wood offers both history and opportunity in one beautiful package.
