Rare Atkins Barracuda Pedal Boat by Murray
As soon as I saw this, I fell in love. As I was carrying it out of the flea market, everyone was saying "look at that cool old boat!" My husband looked it up when we got home and it is made by Murray as a private label for store chain. On one side it reads very faintly Atkins Barracuda, which are quite rare. This was missing it's rubber around two tires (tires are not all original to boat) and it was missing it's pedal mechanism and steering wheel. We purchased new rubber for two tires, the wheel, and pedals. We had a friend fabricate the pedal mechanism. This has been sandblasted, all the work is done except for paint, and a few more trim pieces. Asking $325, which if you do some research is a very fair price. Not too many of these around. Measures 39 inches from stem to stern and 18 inches across. Stands about 12 inches tall, not including wheel height. SOLD!
