1936 Willis Cruiser

This 36-foot Willis Cruiser dates to 1936 and is built from wood. The boat measures 9 feet in beam and represents a classic design from that era of American cruiser building. Power comes from a Cummins engine.

The hull and structural form reflect the traditional construction methods of the 1930s. The boat's proportions and build are characteristic of cruisers designed for coastal and inland waters during this period.

The wood construction and age of the boat mean it represents a snapshot of early 20th-century marine design and craftsmanship. Original wooden vessels of this vintage require ongoing care and knowledge of period-appropriate maintenance and repair.
