A rare opportunity to own one of Peterborough’s flagship cedar strips in good condition. The 16-foot Royal (68? beam) was the high end model produced by the company and marketed as “Gentlemen’s Cruiser.” It underwent a thorough restoration in the early 2000s, including new period-correct mahogany decking and windshield. The cedar strip hull is original and has never been fiberglassed. No rot anywhere in the boat. Powered by a 1957 Johnson Golden Javelin 35 hp — beautiful gold-and-white outboard of its day — in equally fine condition with only minor issues that pertain to finish. Boat and motor have been tended to by Allman Brothers in Huntsville, Muskoka Classic Marina and yearly winterization by Port Anchor Marine. Only fyi is that a new engine harness for electrical distribution (lights) should be sought for improved distribution of electricity. Boat, motor, and trailer sold as a complete, ready-to-enjoy package. There are only three Peterborough Royals known to still exist in Canada.

I purchased this boat three years ago, had a custom cover made for it, and had some additional restoration work done on the interior. The previuos owner had sanded and varnished the hull and deck with six coats of Captains varnish. This is a stunning looking boat and gets many compliments. It ended up being a littel too long for us and also we needed to be able to remove it from the lake for extended periods of time when it really needs to stay wet so the planks swell and seal up. I ended acquiring another Peterborough this summer (just love these boats), so this one is now in storage awaiting a new owner.

1954 Peterborough Zephyr 14' cedar boat. Includes the original 1956 7.5Hp Sea-horse Johnson motor and my dad's 1979 9.9Hp Evinrude motor (each motor has it's own fuel tank). No leaks, includes trailer. The trailer is the original trailer built for the boat by my Grandpa. I've had a VIN assigned to it, upgraded the lights and modified the boat supports from rollers to rails/carpeted boards (which are better for even support of the cedar boat). This boat was my Grandpa's and was passed on to my cousin who performed some restoration and replaced the windscreen. They used the boat with the original 7.5Hp sea-horse Johnson motor. I acquired the boat in 2019 and had more restoration done (since it had been in storage again for some time). I disassembled the 7.5Hp motor and verified the water pump impeller was like new, replaced the head gasket, and re-assembled. I've had an issue finding an o-ring for the glass fuel filter, so I've run the boat with the 9.9 Evinrude motor.

Cedar double ended rowing skiff with spoon oars with leathers. Boat came from Muskoka area. Had been owned by the Hand family then another party in Ontario. I got it about 20 years ago and subsequently had some strips, 1/2 keel and a stem replaced by the instructors at Urban Boatbuilders in St Paul. the outer hull was stripped and I varnished with Deks Olje. Our use at the cottage was great but our use is inconvenient by the repeated in and out with soaking when we would return after a few weeks away. Deck batten boards need repair or replacement. All original hardware including the rare foot brace. Interior and gunwales could/should be refinished. Has been in dry storage for 5 years. No trailer, can car top or fit inside a van. Wonderful rowing. Can assist with delivery.

This is a very rare model of Peterborough and a must-have for the Peterborough collector. The traveler model was only built in limited numbers and was one of the company's early efforts to break into the inboard boat market. The design was very utilitarian with no windshield and center-position steering. She is quite heavily built compared to other Peterborough boats of the era. Powered by a Universal Flexi-4 engine, predecessor to the Atomic-4. Some restoration work has been started and she is now ready for a craftsman to take over the job!

The Peterborough Canoe Company was one of Canada's largest and best known boat builders. During their production, the company produced outboard boats, sailboats, racing hulls, and a small number of inboards. This is a fine example of the AutoCraft Launch produced by Peterborough in the 1920's. The current owner located this boat in an Illinois warehouse. She was completely restored in 2003. She is powered by her original Kermath model 20. Only 3 of these boats are known to exist today. She is graceful and a beautiful survivor!

This boat was commissioned as a custom build for a family on Stoney Lake back in 1939. She was completed after war efforts were stopped in 1946. This boat is a true custom build because it features many of Peterborough's most desirable construction methods and this model is not seen in any of the company's catalogues. She was fully restored in the 1980's and had a new bottom installed. The boat is still in excellent condition and shows that it has been very well taken care of. This is also a very functional design with the second row of seating behind the driver's position. She has fresh varnish and is ready to go! This is a rare 3 owner boat with a nice history.
