In 2004, Classic Boating magazine described the 1922 John Hacker-designed 26′ Miss A.P.B.A. (American Powerboat Association), designed for Gold Cup races, as one of the more enduring classic designs for new construction.
Miss A.P.B.A. was never a Hacker Craft stock production. Those wanting one had to either build it themselves or have it built for them.
In 1922, Hacker specified a four-cylinder 125 hp. Hall Scott marine motor to meet the requirement of 625 cubic inch piston displacement or less. Today, large V-8s, like 454s and 502s, are the norm. In one instance, a V-12 was tried and found to be too much.
A Chevy 502 c.i. engine was chosen for this build. https://www.chevrolet.com/performance/crate-engines/big-block-502-ho
Sale price includes new trailer with felt-lined pads, with less than 25 miles on the road. Package includes custom cockpit dust cover and stern flag.
