Description

This 1929 24′ Hacker Baby Dolphin is a true gem discovered in a barn. Meticulously restored by its current owners over a span of seventeen years and countless man-hours, bringing it back to concours condition from the keel up. The exceptional Hacker Baby Dolphin now boasts a fit and finish that surpasses its original state. To truly appreciate this masterpiece, it must be seen in person as words fall short in capturing its beauty. Lady Jane has been preserved like a museum exhibit post-restoration, never having touched water. It awaits a new owner to reintroduce this magnificent vessel to the water for its maiden voyage. Hull: Impeccable mirror-like finish on the hull-sides and deck, requiring no further attention other than a new captain to steer her back into the water. Bottom: The bottom has been reconstructed using modern techniques, featuring a no-soak 5200 bottom that allows for immediate use upon water contact. Hardware: All hardware has been re-plated to a superior finish. The Hacker-Craft gauge panel shines like a precious jewel. The original foot pedal-operated throttle has been meticulously restored, along with all other original hardware. Interior: Luxurious leather seats were installed during a top-tier interior restoration. Engine: Equipped with a new Mercruiser 5.7 V8 engine boasting 320hp, offering modern reliability and power for your new adventures on the water. For those desiring an original model engine, one is available for installation upon request. Trailer: A custom-made tandem axle trailer crafted in 2019 accompanies the boat. It includes a cradle with wheels for convenient showroom or garage storage.
