SPECIAL REPORT: U.S. builders are turning out semi-custom and fully custom yachts from coast to coast.
The 1937 mahogany commuter yacht Posh left more than one visitor awestruck when she pulled alongside the docks at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. She is part of what may be the most famous triumvirate in the history of boating—three exceptional boats designed by John Hacker and built in the late 1930s by Huskins Boat Works of Bay City, Mich.: WeeJoe II, Tempo and Thunderbird.

That’s what happened this year with the 1937 mahogany commuter yacht Posh.
