"Dreamboat". Not to be confused with the Lake Union boat. This is a motorboat built in Ohio By the Mathews motorboat company.
Our project this summer was the restoration of Dreamboat. A 40' Mathews built in 1939. I believe that this particular design of Mathews was the finest. It really has everything you could want as far as looks and the accommodations is well laid out.
Our restoration consisted of replacing 1/2 of the lower sections of the frames. New garboards and second planks full length, floor timbers. Keel work. side decks. house rebuild and a systems upgrade including new tanks.
The new owners of Dreamboat were a pleasure to work with on this project. Dreamboat can now stand up to her name again thanks to them.
