General Description
The BO-PEEP II was designed by John Hacker of the HACKER-FERMANN Company of Detroit, Michigan and was built by the DEFOE BOAT AND MOTOR WORKS of Bay City, Michigan in 1926.
The hull is a full displacement type and is very similar to the Hacker-Craft speed boat hulls of the era. It is very clean and efficient. The hull construction is mahogany planking over oak frames. The foredeck is white pine tongue and grooved with canvas. The side and aft decks are teak planked. The bright work exterior and interior is Honduran mahogany with a varnish finish.
She has always been maintained as a private yacht and in the same family since 1951. We know she has been moored under covered moorage since then and is currently in a boathouse.
The history of BO-PEEP II is well documented as well as is every change of ownership. The original owner documented the BO-BEEP II and today her USCG documentation is one of the longest in the USA without a name change.
The current boathouse and moorage are available separately.

Special Hull Construction
The "75-Year Refit" replaced the stem, keel, all floors, to bottom planking, and transom with new wood sized to the original dimensions. The stem was fabricated using laminated Angelique. The transom frames and keel are Angelique. Ribs were replaced or repaired as necessary using laminated mahogany. All wood below the waterline was coated with up to six coats of WestSystem (WS) Epoxy prior to installation. The mahogany floors and planks were "dry-fitted" then removed and epoxy sealed on all sides. Planking seams were caulked with WestSystem Epoxy mixed w/WS 404 High Strength filler. All fasteners used were North American manufactured silicon bronze. Silicon bronze bolts replaced the original galvanized bolts and silicon bronze screws replaced the original copper rivets. Screw fasteners were countersunk and plugged over using the same epozy mixture. After
fairing, 6- coats of WS epoxy were reapplied to any bare wood. All holes cut for thru-hull fittings installations were sealed with epoxy. The fittings were installed with 3M 5200 to seal and further insulate from the wood. Two coats of Petit Protect epoxy based primer was applied; followed by two coats of Petit Trinidad Red anti-fouling bottom topcoat.
Manufacturers were consulted to verify compatibility of products. A very experienced wooden boat surveyor, Capt Malcolm Munsey (USN Ret) inspected each phase of the work prior to beginning the next. He was also the project manager for the restoration of the M/V Virginia V.
