This exceptional motor launch, built in 1989, is powered by a 440 cubic inch
V8 Chrysler engine. "Era" is a custom replica of a 1929 Minett, built
by Vic Carpenter. She is 35 feet long, has a 7 foot beam and draws a total of
22 inches (the hull drawing only 8 inches). The launch will reach a
top speed 50 miles an hour. The hull is 5/8 inch Honduras Mahogany over
sheer-to-sheer laminated mahogany frames. The deck is 1/2 inch Honduras
Mahogany. ERA has a completely varnished bilge, and all fittings are handcrafted
from solid stainless steel. It is worth noting that ERA was
entirely refinished over 2007/2008 - completely varnished top to bottom, all
new leather upholstery and a brand new engine. She is a totally unique gem in
mint condition. Another interesting point is the opening of the Victor and
Hazel Carpenter Boating Centre of Excellence at Georgian College in 2007.
This technical training facility bears Vic's name in tribute to his custom
boat building skills and beautifully crafted works of art - customers have
included the famous Gordon Lightfoot. ERA is truly a work of art by a world
class boat builder!
PRICE: $300,000. pb362
