Combined Cabin Cruiser Trailer and Light Freight Trailer
A Unique cabin cruiser boat designed in 1946 by inventor James Louis Crook.
This is a combined cabin cruiser, trailer and light freight trailer vessel patented by the United States Patent Office on 15 August 1950.
As World War II came to a close, America’s steel industry had experienced an unprecedented demand to produce steel for the war, and Mr. Crook, realizing their efforts, sought to find new products that might take advantage of the use of steel materials as the war came to a close in August, 1945. Thus, he invented a boat of modest size that could be transported by average Americans from place to place.
Trailer license plate on rear of boat is New York Trailer # 94 – 417 year 1960 – 61
the bottom of the boat is an old trailer, and that's why the bow of the boat has a trailer hitch
