You are viewing the only 1948 26' Higgins Deluxe Sedan Cruiser known to exist. You're not alone if you have never seen or heard of Higgins boats. To date, only 220 total Higgins pleasure boats are known to exist. This will make a great addition to your personal collection or a great way to entertain and impress corporate clients. Based in New Orleans, production records were lost as a result of hurricanes. Higgins Industries produced WWII Military Craft during the war and then turned the plants into pleasure craft production after the war. She has won multiple ACBS Best of Show, Best Preserved and People's Choice awards and is still in Concourse condition. Her trailer was built and specially modified to keep her safe and sound while not in the water. A true barn find she was sent to Dan Nelson to return her to her original glory. This was not just a rebuild it was a top-to-bottom restoration to original manufacturer's specifications. The transom and cabin sides have been restored with beautiful Mahogany veneer, which maintains her Preserved Status. David Van Ness rebuilt the engine and drivetrain to original factory specs - 135 HP Chrysler Crown 6 Cylinder Engine and Paragon Transmission. The engine has approximately only 200 hours on it as she was used primarily at various ACBS (Antique and Classic Boat Society) boat shows and events. The seller states that she is such a joy to cruise in with the windows open and the breeze flowing through the shaded cabin and the folks in the rear enjoying the sunshine. Even rainy days are fun-filled cruising out of the elements.She has always been stored inside in a temperature-controlled environment and properly winterized after each season.While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.We have several more Chris-Craft, Sea Ray, Bayliner, and Marine Trader vessels for sale.

Owner's Comment
She has received Best of Show and Peoples Choice at the Toledo Antique and Classic Boat Show and the grand finale was receiving BEST PRESERVED CRUISER in Table Rock, MO at the Annual International Show hosted by The Antique and Classic Boat Society - ACBS the Grand-Daddy of the Wooden and Classic boat shows. These awards are only given to boats at the pinnacle of the condition ladder. Therefore, condition speaks for itself.Most recently, she has had new OEM aluminum fuel tanks installed and an aft seat installed and crafted to OEM drawings, which was an option back in 1948. Her interior is still in immaculate condition and everything functions properly.
