Shortly After WWII, H. Tracy Balcom enlisted the Naval Architect, Glenn Furness at Hutchinson Boat Works in Alexandria Bay, NY to design him to a boat. It was to be a custom power boat for fishing and recreation in the Thousand Islands. Furness drew up plans for 25ft, 6in utility with a 7ft- 8in beam, double- planked bottom and lap strake sides that blended beautifully into a full barrel stern an extremely rare combination. An ice box and several lockers were provided for stowage of fish and fishing gear, and an unusual convertible canvas top on wood bows was designed to collapse forward into a concealed compartment located just behind the windshield. Power was provided by a 6-125 Gray Marine engine. The design was designated #142 and as far as is known, only one boat was ever built from that design. That build was executed in 1949 by Grew Boats, LTD of Pentanguishene, ONT, Canada as hull #3412. The boat spent the next 25 years in the Thousand Islands and during that time it was regularly maintained by Hutchinson. In 1974 the changed hands and moved to Rochester, NY with the intention of being restored. Three years later the boat moved to Sodus Bay and eventually the restoration took place by Stew Sills at Sills Marina. The current owner purchased the boat in 2006 after a full restoration and has spent the remaining years on Sodus Bay.
