Circa 1913, the Dodge Brothers started a car company that became massively successful, and it still exists today. Unfortunately, while their company lived on, both of the brothers died in 1920 due to influenza. After his father's passing and with much encouragement from his mother, Horace E.

Circa 1913, the Dodge Brothers started a car company that became massively successful, and it still exists today. Unfortunately, while their company lived on, both of the brothers died in 1920 due to influenza. After his father’s passing and with much encouragement from his mother, Horace E. Dodge Jr. created the Horace E. Dodge Boat Works. The new Dodge Boat Works used car manufacturing techniques to build unique boats, even going so far as to market the boats as “Dodge Watercars”. The boats were a success, quickly becoming a platform for racing boats with their powerful marine engines. In 1930 a new line of solid mahogany runabout boats were released: a 16′ 40hp, a 21’6″ capable of 35 mph, a 25′ capable of 38 mph, and a 28′ with a V12 marine engine capable of 45 mph.
This Dodge Sea Nymph is a 16′ Watercar from the solid mahogany line. This vessel has the 85ci 40hp Lycoming Marine engine that can propel the Sea Nymph to 35 mph. This Watercar was fully restored with the lower hull replaced with “no-soak” plywood. Overall, this rare Dodge is in excellent condition and ready for its next voyage. A boat registration is included in the sale.
