1946 Gar Wood 19ft Deluxe Utility

As World War II came to a close in 1945, the legendary Gar Wood Industries emerged from wartime production with a bold new vision. Under fresh leadership, the company embarked on a mission to restyle their postwar boat line, introducing sleek, modern aesthetics while preserving the engineering excellence and performance that had made Gar Wood a name synonymous with powerboating prestige. The 1946 model year marked the debut of this exciting new design direction, and the Deluxe Utility stood out as a perfect blend of craftsmanship, innovation, and style.

This 1946 Gar Wood 19-foot Deluxe Utility is a beautifully restored example of that postwar renaissance. Featuring a professionally installed West System epoxy bottom, the boat is solid, dry, and ready for years of reliable use. Power comes from a period-correct Chrysler Crown M47 inline-six, delivering a robust 135 horsepower, plenty to enjoy classic cruising with the unmistakable growl of vintage marine engineering.

Inside, the boat features refinished blue and grey leather upholstery, accented by matching grey flooring that complements the warm mahogany hull. The brightwork gleams, the chrome hardware is in fine condition, and every detail reflects careful stewardship and attention to originality.

Included with the boat is a 2019 Tahoe Trailer Works tandem axle trailer, offering modern convenience for transport and storage, so you can tow this classic with confidence to your favorite lake or boat show.

Turn-key and ready to launch, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of American boating history, an authentic postwar Gar Wood Utility that combines elegant design with seaworthy performance. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a first-time vintage boat owner, this Deluxe Utility is ready to deliver timeless enjoyment on the water.
