Next, we’re treated to a rare, inside look at Fort Mahogany - home to an outstanding, private collection of nearly 30 top shelf collectible wooden boats featuring some of the rarest antique power boats in existence - all of which enjoy regular usage.

I was 11 years old staying at my uncle’s place on Deep Creek Lake in Maryland. One of his friends drove a 6 cylinder Chris Craft wide open past our dock. Still remember the growl of that motor and the shiny wood. That was 61 years ago. I was hooked on wooden speed boats from then on.
Thanks for this tremendous video.

[@mahoganyandchromeshow]

Love these videos. This one seems to indicate a move toward being advertisements. Not sure I’m looking forward to that.
