aNewDomain.net — Our team is in Manhattan covering The Luxury Review. Here you’ll find some 35 of the world’s top luxury brands. Among them — and right outside The Altman Building — we found the 26-foot custom built Hacker-Craft Racer.
Scroll below the fold for pics and video of the Hacker-Craft, built according to the 1923 design published by famed naval architect and Hacker-Craft founder John L. Hacker. It’s gorgeous.
Hacker Boat Company’s Kenneth J. Rawley told me that Hacker, the single biggest American manufacturer of classic mahogany motorboats, is only shipping custom designs of this model, which will set you back $270K to $280K US. There are three Hacker-Craft Racers available to test drive in Florida and New York.
Check out the interior.
Back in the 1930s, Rawley told me, Hacker-Crafts were known as the “Steinways of Runabouts.”
