(1950s) Here is statement for your bar! This huge 28-foot Tahitian outrigger canoe was acquired by Bob and LeRoy in the very early 1960s. It has hung in their shop ever since then and many a Trader and Beachcomber has tried in vain to pry it out of OA’s hands! Original Polynesian canoes of this size and quality are simply unheard of these days, especially here on the mainland. This had to have been freight shipped at considerable costs even in those days. The canoe features a beautiful red and black lacquer finish with lahaula trim and oddly enough an OA Maori tiki at the prow. The double wide outrigger booms are present and can break down and be placed within the deck for transport. Also included are custom created wall mounts carved by LeRoy Schmaltz for an easier wall mounting (sans outrigger booms, obviously) in the event the new owner chooses to reduce the footprint of this incredible boat. Keep in mind, the outrigger booms can be replaced with smaller cross poles should they span too wide with the originals. One is unlikely to run across another vintage outrigger of this quality again. 28’ (Length) x 17” (Hull) x 76” (Tall at Masthead) x 12’11” (Rigging). VG+ with typical wear.
