BOAT ONLY! TRAILER NOT INCLUDED!
This is a full-size replica of the keelboat that Lewis and Clark used to explore the western United States in 1804. Butch Bouvier “Mr. Keelboat” Built this boat in 2004. He had named it “Best Friend” but later changed it to “Discovery II”. Built a little longer and a little wider than the original keelboat for stability on the water. It is 57 feet long and 12 feet wide. It weighs 9 tons and drafts 14 inches of water. Built entirely of pressure treated and western cedar. All fittings are zinc coated or stainless. There was a hole cut in the captain’s quarters for an outboard motor. The boat was used for programing at Lewis and Clark State Park in Onawa, Iowa for most of its life. The boat has not been in the water since 2019. It is in pretty rough shape and will need a lot of work to restore. The masts are broken along with many other things. This boat comes as is. The trailer it is on will not go with the boat. This sale is for the BOAT ONLY. For more information on the trailer please contact Nathan at 712-423-2829 or Lewis_and_Clark@dnr.iowa.gov.
