HACKERCRAFT

John L. Hacker was one of the twentieth century’s most important runabout and race-boat designers, he was also a notoriously unsavvy businessman who spent much of his career bouncing from company to company. But the companies with which he was involved – Hackercraft, Albany, and Belle Isle, to name a few – were blessed with some of the most elegant wooden powerboats ever created. This book reveals the complete history of the enigmatic man and his innovative and often opulent powerboats.
