Westminster, Maryland

Penn Yan reconditioned 1954 8 ft. Standard dinghy. This fantastic classic survivor is a perfect companion for that classic wooden coastal cruiser. A marine company originating in upstate New York, Penn Yan Boats Incorporated was founded in 1921 by a German immigrant to the United States. Penn Yan Boats built wooden speedboats up until the end of 1966, when they redesigned their entire product line. The desirability of the Penn Yan Composite construction is shown to its best advantage in a dinghy. The alternate soaking when in the water and drying when exposed to the sun ruins the ordinary wooden dinghy but has no effect upon a Penn Yan. Wide and deep, the 8ft. Standard is a thoroughly seaworthy craft. Its round bottom is easy to propel and faster than ordinary dinghies when fit with a small outboard. The canvas hull covering was replaced with fiberglass and varnished interior painted by original owner for ease of maintenance and durability. I'm the second owner. Always stored inside! The famous "Striptight" construction hull comes complete with its original bronze lift rings and oarlock sockets. The interior and exterior were recently sanded and refinished in exterior satin enamel. Gunwales, gunwale bumper, inwales, floorboards, stem band, skeg and seats have been replaced with appropriate materials. It comes with a new cover, oarlocks and oars. The dinghy has a huge capacity for its size and I've fastened the seats so they are easily removed for even more capacity. Easily propelled by oars or low power outboard, the Penn Yan Standard tows properly, as well. It fits perfectly in the back of a small pickup truck on a closed cell camping matress. A much loved-and-cared-for family boat that is a dream to own, you cannot reproduce a class act boat such as this 8 ft. Penn Yan Standard dinghy for twice the price. Internationally famous Penn Yan dinghies are the standard by which all others are judged. Sure, you can have some very nice new tenders for $9,500 or more… Or… You can have THIS very nice tender for $1,800 and keep $7700! There is NO trailer available. I'm asking a very reasonable $1800. Don't even think I'm going to accept some lowball offer. Paypal, cash or certified check. Local pickup only. Westminster is a Central Maryland community easily accessible from the Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Annapolis, Maryland and southern Pennsylvania.
