Dunphy Imperial

Beautifully restored 1954 Dunphy Imperial 16ft runabout with 2 tone wood trimming. Professionally refurbished by a Lake Michigan boat refinishing company. The boat has a mahogany hull with deep varnish finish and newly replaces green marine grade upholstry interior. No expense was spared in bringing back the original beauty of this classic. Due to the exceptional condition of this boat you can tell its always been somebody's "baby". Its been well preserved and kept in storage for the most part, but taken on fresh water occasionally to keep the wood strong and from drying out. The hull has no leaks and is strong enough for daily use. The boat is fitted with a 2006 Mercury Classic 40hp 2 stroke outboard which makes it practical and economical to operate and dependable. It will pull a small skier or tube (100 lbs or so) but this boat is more about cruising in style and creating a personality on the lake (draws a crowd everywhere it goes). Motor has electric tilt trim and top speed is about 35 mph but the simple dash board has no speedometer and is all original. The original telescoping trailer is included with the boat. The bearing have been repacked and its dependable enough for short road trips. The prior owner had purchased the boat and had it refurbished as an anniversary gift for his wife and was used on Lake Michigan. I have used the boat for occasional use on Clear Lake Texas and the boat now resides in Houston. This is a MUST SEE boat! Come and view the boat and see the quality and exceptional condition of the boat rather than take my word for it. You'll be pleased with it. This is one of the prettiest eye catching wooden boats (without spending a fortune) you will ever find.
