1958 Silver Arrow
Woodies Restorations is indeed privileged to be selected to restore this fine example of boating History. There were only FOUR Silver Arrows before this one, and according to the Mariners Museum, TWO of them were prototypes, The first production hull (SA-19-001) was shipped to a Motorcycle Company in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the second (SA-19-002) was shipped to the Algonac Lions Club in Algonac Michigan. Could this have been for a raffle? . Therefore, this is THE THIRD PRODUCTION SILVER ARROW SOLD. Hull SA-19-003 was originally shipped to a boat dealer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Work to be completed includes
Customized aluminum trailer for proper support of the boat
5200 bottom
Some wood replacement where Raccoons gnawed at the wood. YES! Really!!!
We will be completing the proper restoration of this boat for the owner. Current plans are for bottom replacement, strip and refinish, a little chrome work and possibly some upholstery work.
