EWE BOAT is a 1939 Chris-Craft Model 904
Deluxe Utility with the original Chris-Craft Model K 3-3/8" bore, 85 hp
engine. She was delivered to the E. J. Mertaugh Boat works in Hessel, Michigan
on July 12, 1939 and spent the majority of her years cruising the Les Cheaneaux
Islands. We are the second owner of the EWE BOAT and have enjoyed her for 26
seasons.
EWE BOAT was the 1997 winner of the Hagerty Classic Insurance Safety
Award at the 24th. Annual Lake George Rendezvous of the
Adirondack Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society. The reasons why the
judges awarded this prize prize to the EWE BOAT are not known but I think the
paddle, boat hook, boarding ladder (or escape ladder), obnoxious Klaxon horn,
deck mounted search light, industrial first aid kit, two fire extinguishers,
bilge drip pans, waterproof fuse box or the plethora of life jackets had something to do
with it. |
