Overview

 

The Matthews Boat Company was founded by Scott J. Matthews in 1898.  In 1906 the company moved to Port Clinton Ohio, where it prospered as a world-renowned builder of quality boats.

 In 1913 Matthews built the first recreational vessel powered by diesel engines. The 110' Aeldgytha cruised 2,700 trouble free diesel powered miles on the Great Lakes, marking another first for Matthews in the recreational boat building industry.  

Because of its world-wide reputation for quality Matthews built yachts for several luminaries such as W. E. Scripps, president of the Scripps Motor Co. and commodore of The Detroit Motor Boat Club, Charles E. Ringling of circus fame, who had Matthews build 6 yachts for him and the owner of  the Packard Automobile Company.

The US government had the company build vessels for the US Army in 1909, 110' sub chasers during World War I and landing craft in World War II.  In 1924 Matthews began building the first stock production boat in the industry... the  Matthews 38' "Special".  All recreational boats prior to that had been custom made.

In 1969 sensing the end of wooden yacht construction, Matthews contracted with Halamatic of England to build 46' fiberglass hulls that were nearly identical to the Matthews 45' wooden hulls in weight, appearance, dimensions and performance.  The hulls were shipped to the Matthews factory where the cabins, bridges and interiors were built and engines were installed. Matthews was the only production powerboat in the US to carry a Lloyds of London certification.  

Unfortunately, the company switched to fiberglass construction too late and was a victim of the oil crisis and the US recession of the early 1970s .  

 "MOONGLOW III" is one of the last vessels built by Matthews and is a perfect example of why Matthews had a reputation for unsurpassed quality.

  Interior Walk-Through

Starting forward in the bow is the first stateroom. There are single berths outboard, port and starboard on either side about 4' above the cabin sole with storage cabinets beneath each berth. There is a triangular platform all the way forward making access to the berths easier.  

Beneath the platform, concealed by a cover, is an electric marine toilet.  On the forward bulkhead, above the platform, there is a mirrored access door to the chain locker. As you enter the cabin there is a sink to port and a glass door stall shower to starboard.

Heading aft down the hall is the large second stateroom (the owner's cabin) on the starboard side.  It features a large double bed outboard to starboard, with a large night table next to it.  There is a large cabinet topped with a cushion on the other side of the room, across from and parallel with the bed, which could serve as a single bed.  A couple of feet from the foot of the bed is a large hanging locker and farther forward is a large ensuite head with a glass door stall shower.

The hallway and staterooms all have custom cut attractive high wear carpet.

Heading aft there are two large closets with wicker inserts in their doors outboard to port.

Four steps up from the hallway to the staterooms, heading aft takes you to the main saloon and galley.

The Galley features a long Formica topped center island athwartship with the stainless steel galley sink, refrigerator and freezer drawers below it.
