CLASSIC WOODEN GAME BOAT MOANA SHOWING OFF

Recently woody John Dawson sent me the above b/w photo of a game boat in an unusual pose – I have never seen the days catch displayed as above. Skipper can’t have had much respect for the paint job.

A few minutes on the WW Search box gave me a match – the craft is the 1958 Lane Motor Boat Co. built 42’ launch – MOANA, as seen in the 2nd photo.

She first appeared on WW back in January 2014, link below, and there have been numerous updated to that story. Powered by a Gardner 6LX. https://waitematawoodys.com/2014/01/21/moana-2/

The boat looks very stable, given the weight hanging off the side – maybe there was more on the port side?.
