One of the greatest speedboat designers of all time was the American John Hacker. From the early 1900s through to the 1950s, he designed extraordinary pleasure and race boats throughout the 'golden age' for mahogany speedboats. From that era comes this wonderful modern-day re-creation of his 1920s 'Rosita' design. This new Rosita, built by the craftsmen at Frecheville Heaney Boats, Paynesville is truly a masterpiece.

Rosita is 21 ft long and built from book matched Brazilian Mahogany, modern marine ply and Hoop Pine for her stringers and keel. The engine is a 305 Chev V8 five litre block which develops around 280 hp. Top speed is around 40 knots (74 kph) with easy cruising at 30 knots. A NEW CUSTOM BUILT ROSITA IS PRICED FROM $120,000.00.
