About
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.
Overview
Few boats create the same feeling at the dock as a beautifully maintained mahogany runabout.
The Gar Wood 28 draws inspiration from the iconic designs of the 1930s while incorporating a more modern bow flare designed for a drier, more comfortable ride. Its walk-through second cockpit makes moving through the boat easier, while fold-out cocktail tables turn an afternoon cruise or sunset run into an occasion.
It is equally at home being preserved as part of a collection or regularly enjoyed cruising the 1000 Islands with family and friends.
The 430 HP Ilmor 6.2L V8 provides the sound, response and effortless power that suit a runabout of this character.
A shaft-drive configuration and Velvet Drive transmission provide a traditional inboard experience, while the bow thruster adds welcome confidence around docks. The more modern bow flare complements the classic lines while helping provide a drier, more comfortable ride.
This is a classic runabout designed around actually spending time aboard. The walk-through second cockpit improves movement through the boat, while thoughtful storage helps keep the cockpit uncluttered.
Fold-out cocktail tables make entertaining easy, and the Garmin GPS folds away when not required, helping preserve the clean appearance of the helm.
