46' Matthews Sport Fish
Matthews Wooden Boat building company started out in Branscomb, Ohio, back in the late 1800s, where Scott J. Matthews developed some of the early hulls next to his father's sawmill. Eventually they went on to build a whole variety of hulls. The company created everything from small runabouts to rumrunners for the government, to military craft, and of course the luxury yachts that they are well renowned for. During the time many influential people like the Ringling Brothers of circus fame, even Ernest Hemingway himself owned a Matthews. This particular Matthews 46 Sport Fish has been loved and cared for by it's current owner for the past 20 years. They are a lot of wooden boats out there today, but most require a lot of work, and tender loving care. With this 46 you are certainly getting a lot of boat for your money. The important thing to remember is that these older wooden boats need to be structurally and mechanically sound and this one is. She has a good solid hull, good decks and the mechanicals are working fine. Equipped with galley, dinette, spacious v-berth, plenty of storage, separate head and shower. You can't help but appreciate the classic lines of this beautiful yacht. Powered by reliable twin 853 Detroit Diesel power plants which have no problem getting the classic hull of this Matthews 46 on plane. She can handle adverse sea conditions very well and the flared bow turns away the water beautifully. Her twin Diesel power enables her to cruise nicely at a comfortable 14 knots. Standing at the helm of this classic with the wheel in your hands, cruising along slowly, you feel almost regal. But with an asking price in the 40's you certainly will not need to be royalty to own her. Nostalgia reigns with wooden boats, and it cannot be said enough that the lines on this classic will turn heads in any anchorage.
