Vehicle Description
Penn Yan Boat Company whose name derives from the location of its
headquarters, Penn Yan, NY, was a company founded in 1921 by a
German-native by the name of Charles Herrman. Pen Yan began with
wooden boats but grew into much more and began producing everything
from powerboats, sailboats, canoes and rowboats. In the mid-60s
they became very popular for their "Car Top" outboard boat which
received its name based on its design purpose which was to fit on
top of vehicles that were made then and was light and narrow enough
to do so. The company was purchased by new owners in 1979 but
continued producing boats until recently in 2001 when operations
finally ceased.
This fine example of a 1959 Penn Yan Baltic is a great classic wood
boat that has documentation dating all the way back to its original
owner and is a great showing boat from inside to out. With a long
history of service performed and receipts to show to its next proud
owner, this is a great find for anyone interested in a
hard-to-find, unique and classy boat to enjoy all summer long! This
boat comes with the original 50 HP Evenrude engine but is currently
hosting a more modern Force 40 HP which was put on by its current
owner in 2011. With a fully refurnished interior which records show
include many new panels varnished and glossed, new front seats
matched to the grain of wood with a more comfortable, proper
positioning cushioned seat and a full restoration within its body
completed by Antique Boat Service in Cincinnati, OH. This boat
comes with the proper fitting trailer and a fitted boat cover with
snapping sides. This is a ready to enjoy, beautiful antique ready
to run wild in the water again! For any additional information or
questions, don't hesitate to call our sales staff as this is sure
to be an attention-getter from our locals and anybody else near
water!
