This will make a great addition to your personal collection or a great way to entertain and impress corporate clients.

Background

Based in New Orleans, production records were lost as a result of hurricanes. Higgins Industries produced WWII Military Craft during the war and then turned the plants into pleasure craft production after the war.

Condition and Restoration

She has won multiple ACBS Best of Show, Best Preserved, and People's Choice awards and is still in Concourse condition. Her trailer was built and specially modified to keep her safe and sound while not in the water.

A true barn find, she was sent to Dan Nelson to return her to her original glory. This was not just a rebuild; it was a top-to-bottom restoration to original manufacturer's specifications. The transom and cabin sides have been restored with beautiful Mahogany veneer, which maintains her Preserved Status.

Engine and Performance

David Van Ness rebuilt the engine and drivetrain to original factory specs - 135 HP Chrysler Crown 6 Cylinder Engine and Paragon Transmission.

The engine has approximately only 200 hours on it as she was used primarily at various ACBS (Antique and Classic Boat Society) boat shows and events.

Experience

The seller states that she is such a joy to cruise in with the windows open and the breeze flowing through the shaded cabin and the folks in the rear enjoying the sunshine. Even rainy days are fun-filled cruising out of the elements.

She has always been stored inside in a temperature-controlled environment and properly winterized after each season.
