Old Lake Boat
I am hoping someone will be able to help me out here. Pictured is a long and narrow lake boat named the "Weownit" from the 1920-1940 era. It was owned by my great uncle who had a camp near Lee's Mills, Moultonborough, and is pictured passing Little Pine Island. It's length is somewhere between 26-30 feet plus or minus. It was powered by a Ford one cylinder inboard motor. I would be interested in who manufactured the boat or any other history one might provide. Thanks!

Laker
There were a few builders in the area. Johnson Lakers comes to mind. Check with some folks in the are who have been around for a few generations. Trexler's may be helpful, also Melvin Village Marina. Merrill or Jeff Fay at Fay's Boat Yard would be a good source. Also, check with Antique Boat Museum in Wolfeboro and go to the Antique Boat & Car Show in Meredith on July 26. Bring any photo's and you will meet plenty of antique boaters who may be able to help out.
Good luck. Great photo. |

That looks like a great boat to take a nice relaxing cruise in. Maybe not but it looks it.

Goodhue Hawkins in Wolfeboro built lakers that looked like that. They have quite a history.
