This single-owner, freshwater-only 2015 Gar Wood 28 Custom Runabout is an exceptional collector’s boat that was built to be enjoyed, not simply admired. Crafted in mahogany and inspired by the legendary Gar Wood runabouts of the 1930s, it combines timeless wooden-boat character with thoughtful features for comfortable everyday cruising. Power comes from an Ilmor 6.2L V8 producing 430 HP through a Velvet Drive transmission and shaft drive, with just 108 hours. Boathouse kept from new and rated VERY GOOD by the surveyor in June 2025, it received fresh bottom paint and was fully serviced in fall 2025. For the collector who wants authenticity, presence and the freedom to actually use their boat, this Gar Wood is a rare opportunity.
