Wahoma

“WAHOMA,” a 50 foot Bridge Deck Cruiser with 13 ½ foot beam, designed by Ed Monk, Sr. and built by Ed White at the Lake Washington Boat Works in Renton, Washington in 1939 for Ed Umpleby, University of Washington Professor of Forestry.

Unfortunately, he owned it for less than two years, when it was taken over in 1942 by the U.S. Coast Guard to be used as a picket boat for surveillance of one and two man Japanese submarines off the Pacific Coastline.The boat had 50 caliber machine guns mounted on the bow.

Today it is again a pleasure craft of the type I find most attractive! No Fiberglas here!
