A little History:
..Yellow
Jacket Boats were originally built in the late 1940's and
early 1950's by the McDerby-Conatser Boat Co. of Denison
Texas. The Co. was also (for a short time) partially owned by
Roy Rogers "Happy Trails and Wakes". We believe
this boat, due to it's size , was built in the late 1940's.
Yellow Jackets were very durable molded plywood boats,
extremely fast in their day. Designed by Cole, winning races
like the "Round Catalina Island race" and of course
early NOA OPC (Outboard Performance Craft) events, years
before OPC was an APBA (American Power Boat Association)
division. We have heard, that they set a speed record from
New Orleans to St. Louis in 1953. Our boat with it's 25Hp
motor would do almost 35Mph and we used it as a great ski
boat, occasionally even with two skiers. At times we used it
on the Grand River and in Lake Michigan. The motor, boat
trailer and all accessories are in sound condition having
been carefully restored and well maintained over the past 40
years that we have owned and operated the boat.
