There is one of the originals for sale. It is berthed in Wolfeboro. Another sank at Bouhy #1 at the Weirs was later retrieved by Jim Irwin and some other guy.
Whereabouts not known.
Visit the NH Antique Boat Museum in Wolfeboro for more info. The Miss Winnie boat rides started back in 1928-29, when a young man came home late from a night carousing in a "gift" by his mother or grandmother, a due to his behavior she returned the boat to Irwin's. The name to be placed on the stern was "Restless Knight". As the boat sat at Irwin's (at The Pier at Weirs) someone asked to go for a boat ride and a dock hand replied $1.00 per person. The boat loaded up and off she went. When she returned to the dock another group was waiting, and as Jim Irwin Jr said "the rest is history". I think the fleet grew to six boats before the rides retired in the Sixties. (Not to be confused with The Six T'S) Thats another Chris-Craft story. Also inquire throughNECACBS web site and you will get more info.
