Introduction
Description
Of all the legendary and elegant wooden speedboats and runabouts currently collected and restored, Gar Woods, named for their flamboyant creator, are arguably the most coveted. Whereas Chris Craft survived the Great Depression and World War II to enjoy prolific production, only 3,500 Gar Woods were ever built - of those, only a few hundred are known to exist today. A history of Gar Wood the man, the company he founded in 1930, and the magnificent boats themselves, the design, craftsmanship, and materials that made them legendary.
