1940 Gar Wood Sedan - GARWOOD

1940 Gar Wood Sedan
A serendipitous discovery -
The current owner stumbled upon this exquisite vessel, untouched and in need of restoration, while it was being transported to deliver an engine. He was already the proud owner of the sole Marmon V-16 engine ever adapted for marine use, a personal endeavor by Gar Wood to evaluate the engine's potential in boating. Gar Wood had the engine fitted into his own 24'6" sedan for testing purposes. It appears that this unique project did not progress further, as no other Marmon engines have been documented in similar applications.
Recognizing the opportunity to revive the Gar Wood Sedan with the Marmon V-16, the current owner acquired the boat and initiated a meticulous restoration process.
During the restoration, it became clear that fitting the Marmon V-16 would require sacrificing the second seat, a decision that was deemed unacceptable. Instead, the team opted for a Scripps V-12, which was the next best alternative!
And thus, the transformation was complete.
This stunningly restored yacht features exquisite detailing and a period-appropriate Scripps V-12 engine, making it a remarkable find in the world of yacht sales in the current boat location. Whether you're looking to buy a yacht or simply appreciate classic craftsmanship, this Gar Wood Sedan is a true gem in the luxury yacht category.
