1931 Wicks Bros.

TALLULAH is a wonderful example of how “Picnic-Style” powerboats were presented in the American Pre-war era. Built by Wicks Brothers Boats in Amityville, Long Island, she has been beautifully maintained and significantly refreshed in 2022 by the experts at McMillen Yachts. She features a lovely layout suitable for a full day or weekend on the water. She is ideally suited for the classic yacht lover desiring an affordable, easy to maintain classic in great shape. New diesel power, paint and varnish ensure she is truly ready to go.
