This boat was purchased by me 40 years ago. It has been in inside storage with cement floor. The side planks have been replaced with matchbook mahogany. It still needs the the half round trim behind the rug rail and one plank above on deck and below on side. Also the covering boards on the transom. This boat was built shorty after the war and also has some white cedar planks on deck. I have all the hardware including the sweeping, three piece windshield brackets. more than enough wood to finish what is left. This is a rare and worthy project. Unfortunately I am never going to get it done. This boat came from Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota,, and was pulled down to present location, 190 miles, on 4 wheel wagon trailer which came with boat.

Original Hacker Craft Baby Dolphin with all its original German Silver hardware. This boat has been repowered by a Chrysler Straight Eight, M48S 165 HP, 12-volt conversion with electronic ignition.

I believe the original condition is possible, as the boat has spent so many years out of the water in storage. Comes on a nice Tandem Trailer.

1928 29' 6" HACKER CRAFT CO Dolphin Deluxe.There are runabouts, and there are Hackers. No other wooden boat builders have enjoyed over a century of acclaim and accomplishment, as have the American craftsmen at Hacker Boat Company. For generations, Hacker Craft mahogany runabouts have ruled the waterways from Lake Tahoe to Long Island Sound. GAD-A-BOUT is an immaculate, triple-cockpit representation of the gilded era of wooden boats, when massive gas engines were squeezed into luxurious speedboats to thrill the elite - royalty, titans of industry, and Hollywood celebrities - with speed and exhilaration. The sleek mahogany speedsters were introduced into a world of recreational boating that up and to then had been a staid, slow-paced world of rowing boats, steam-powered launches, and spartan sailing craft. Boating was never to be the same. With the gleaming, varnished mahogany, the nickel chrome hardware, and the plush, multiple seating areas these double and triple cockpit runabouts transformed the pleasure boating market, and numerous builders sprung up to sate the nation's quest for speed and performance. Renowned names like Dodge, Chris Craft, Gar Wood began building runabouts, often as a result of speedboat racing success, but none ever reached the pinnacle of craftsmanship and perfection that John Hacker did. To possess a luxury item from a storied era nearly a century ago, in this high level of condition, is a rare opportunity. Stutz Bearcat motorcars, Piaget watches, Erte paintings, Frank Lloyd Wright homes, Hacker runabouts - all conjure up memories and images of the best artisans a time period, long-passed, had to offer. One does not merely possess such priceless artifacts, one serves in stewardship for the next generation to treasure and enjoy. GAD-A-BOUT is turn-key, and ready to cut a wake and turn heads wherever her next dock and waterway await her.

Construction of this Commuter began in 1936. She was completed and remained unused until June of 2010! It was built from a set of Hacker lines. The builder of the boat was a Detroit based inventor. The 140hp Chrysler engine has never been fired and the twin fuel tanks never held gas. The boat sat on a sturdy, supportive cradle until very recently. It had no rot, no notable damage, and had spent nearly no time outdoors. The gauges showed only 0.2 hours of running time! The boat has been professionally finished and is now a usable piece of history. The boat was launched for the very first time on fathers day 2010.
