MYSTERY LAKE TAUPO CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH 

Todays craft appeared in the September 1955 edition of Sea Spray magazine. All we know is home was Lake Taupo and she was 25’ x 8’ x 2’3”, with a round bilge, professionally built from kauri, slept 4. And was powered by a ’near new’ Scripps V8 engine.

Must have been a zoom zoomed back then. I’m sure Paul Drake will help out with more intel.
