This Rascal Runabout, Miss Stella, was completed in 2012 as a homebuilt boat. Top quality materials, finishes and craftsmanship were used throughout the construction without a single detail being overlooked. The Mercury outboard was just REBUILT October 2014 by Ten Killer Marine with only 3 hours on the engine - still in break-in period. The boat runs and looks great - absolute turn key package. A blast to drive and always attracts a crowd on the water or over the road. Miss Stella won "Best Contemporary Classic" at the 2013 ACBS Mahogany Memories Boat Show. Owner is ready for the next project this winter.
