The Truscott 30 deserves to be
introduced by Dick's comment made well over three-quarters of a century
ago. The Truscott 30 is a well balanced boat, easily moved, yet
stable, roomy, and dependable in all respects. It is authentic in
all respects. The Truscott 30 is easily moved by steam or
electric, and could be diesel driven if desired. A complete
traditional launch, a sterling example of New England craftsmanship,
gleaming with varnished mahogany, polished brass work, ASME Code
boiler, and a museum quality steam engine is yours for the
asking. Two of these hulls have gone to do-it-your-selfers who
have turned out enviable products. There are several
layouts that can be fitted. Complete cabins as exhibited above
and to the left or a partial canopy with drop down curtains for
the more adventurous, as shown below. The basic bare hull of the
Truscott 30 is priced at $15,395. A custom trailer that would
handle the completed boat is priced at $8,750. Completed
boats either steam or electric powered cost from $95,950. for an
electric version, to $119,950. for the steam version. Museum
quality versions are priced from $160,950. The Truscott 30 is the
finest steam launch being built today.
