Overview
Good Times — 1956 Emancipator Cruiser
About
You have never seen a boat like this before! There were only about 50 or so built in St. Simons, GA in the late 1940's through the 1950's. The workmanship and performance is far superior to similar vintage vessels in her class.
This boat has a 11.5 foot beam with a very roomy walk around open cockpit. Up to 6 or 8 adults are very comfortable aboard. Powered with twin 350 C.I. fuel injected Gas Sea Max engines with 400 total hours and plenty of performance.
This vessel is the last Emancipator known to exist in the world, making this purchase a one of a kind opportunity.
This better-than-new vessel is a head turner with a great ride and speeds in excess of 40 mph. 30 plus knot cruise.
Recent updates include repower, topside varnish current, new cushions. Boat is in fantastic condition!
