Cracker Box boat 1951 Wickens
An old Crackerbox. Picture was sent to me recently ..
Probably 1960's with side exhaust ~

AN UPDATE -- boat is a 1951 Wickens. They don't get any
prettier than this!!!!! I can stare at this boat all day....
This is a 1952 Wickins Hull powered by a Studebaker V8 with 4 Stromberg 97 Carbs. Got the motor to fire with little effort. Came with 4 west coast trophys and was a big hit at the 2010 Clayton Race Boat regatta. Jim

ReplyDeleteYou got your hands on an absolute beauty of a Cracker. It is so nostalgic looking and it appears all original. You'll have fun with this one!!
