Wooden Boats

The Cherokee is a Belle Island runabout.  Made by craftsmen. Made of fine woods Mohogany, Oak, Teak.  Chrome, brass, fine leather.  $7000 in the 20's and 30's which is about $80,000 in today's money.   This boat was not just a showpiece it was raced on Lake Tahoe for 15 years.  She raced with other women and men and beat them.  The Cherokee was, for many years, the fastest boat on the lake.
