I can't remember where I saw this picture, but it sure has some

nice lines to it. Looks really nice in white too with the wood dash.

Appears to be undergoing a restoration of some sort..

I would say this is probably a 50's Cracker. I sure would like

to see more pictures of this one.

1948 Cracker Box boat

This is a very early Crackerbox boat built in 1948. Raced under

the name "Gohan Maru" with the big Flathead.

Retired in or around 1955 and sat in a barn ever since.

Recently discovered and restoration started ---

Boat is "100 percent complete"-  except for the motor ~~~

*

RECENT DISCOVERY-- is that this boat ran with a '49 Merc Flathead.

More horsepower than a 59A block. Running a merc like this

boat meant you had the most powerful motor out there in the day.

Does anyone have any early racing pics from this time period?

"Gohan Maru" stood for the restaurant that the boat was built

for by the owner in '48. It means "Rice Bowl" and was located

in the Bakersfield area of southern Ca. The boat had 3 owners

and all 3 owners were friends of each other. I purchased the

boat from the 3rd owner who states that they were friends with

the orig owner in '48 when the boat was built. This is how we

know the boat is a 1948.
